BitTorrent Trial Makes Australia's High Court 98
daria42 writes "Australia's highest court has agreed to hear the long-running BitTorrent case between one of the country's largest ISPs, iiNet, and a group of film and TV studios represented by a copyright organization known as AFACT. The case has the potential to determine once and for all whether Australians who download content via BitTorrent can have their Internet connections disconnected upon the request of the studios. It's lawyers at ten paces!"

Australia also has a constitution [wikipedia.org]. We just don't treat it like Moses brought it down off the mountain.
Hey now, we yankees don't do that! For a while, we amended it every few years, whenever we got tired of what it said. Eventually we realized changing it was unnecessary work, and just started pretending it said something new.
