Late last month in National Rugby League Investments Pty Limited v Singtel Optus Pty Ltd the Federal Court of Australia declared that the Optus personal video recorder service (which records and stores information on the instructions of a subscriber accessing the system online via "cloud computing" technology) infringed copyright in live broadcasts of National Rugby League (NRL) and Australian Football League (AFL) games
The New Zealand parliament has amended the Copyright Act 1994 (NZ) to introduce a 'three strikes' policy towards infringing file sharing that will see repeat infringers fined NZ$15,000 or disconnected from the internet for up to six months
The Full Federal Court of Australia recently upheld a decision of the Federal Court which had held that copyright did not subsist in the Yellow and White Pages directories
