ZDnet story on developements today in the AFACT versus aussie ISP court case. http://www.zdnet.com.au/news/communications/soa/AFACT-bombarded-iiNet-wi...

Cobden [isp's defence lawyer] yesterday worked towards reducing the number of alleged breaches of copyright that had been collected by AFACT's two investigators, which were claimed by AFACT's barrister Tony Bannon to have reached 100,000 instances. Cobden told Justice Cowdroy that BitTorrent file-sharing were often pre-configured to be left open for sharing, meaning that many of the alleged breaches were actually single instances.

What's an ISP to do after recieving 100,000 allegations of coyright infringment? just do what hollwood says & disconnect every customer? All on one accuser's say so?

Or is the ISP supposed to spend the time and money investigating all these accusations as an unpaid copyright police force and justice system?

iinet chose to refer the complaints to the Australian police. - and now they're defending themselves in court for "allowing copyright infringment" to occur.
