Australian universities forced to hand over computer hardware in piracy case

Three Australian
universities, suspected of piracy on their networks, have to hand over CDs and
computer hard drives to a recording industry expert for examination. Our thanks
goes to GristyMcFisty for submitting this
news:

The orders relate to legal action record companies
EMI, Universal and Sony are taking against the universities over alleged
music copyright infringements.

The companies have taken the
universities of Sydney, Melbourne and Tasmania to court over alleged music
piracy detected by a routine check on Internet usage.

The Federal
Court has granted the record companies access to the universities'
computer system to investigate the allegations
further.
