australia’s situation is cloudy. for pr purposes at least the decision for now is against american-style lawsuits, but that does not mean file sharers are off the hook. indeed several individuals are facing actual prison time and there is a massive case moving through the courts pitting sony and others against the universities. in some ways the worst place to be for a file sharer is oz. were it not for the fact that most australian’s are pretty comfortable with the insides of a slammer, life on the continent might be kind of grim right now.
