The major movie studios are still trying to crack down on illegal downloads. In the past they’ve employed some shady tactics and its disappointing to find out that they are still at it. This time, the studios teamed up to spy on users of the Australian ISP iiNet. The studios used an insider to upload copyright material while tracking down leechers. After a lengthy investigation period, the studios released a list to the ISP of infringers whom they wanted to have their internet disconnected. The ISP was a true champion of the people however by refusing to disconnect on the basis that this was not enough proof of copyright infringement.
