Surely a good outcome for RIANZ with a junior copyright infringer stopped after the first warning.īut it seems that the current format of the notices is not good enough. I will get the guys to delete the Azurus or Vuse and to check for any other peer to peer programs. He is a good family friend so thats fine. :) I have found out that one of my son’s friends has done this and he says he won’t do it again. Thank you so much for getting back to me and for taking the time and all the information, very much appreciated. Sony/RIANZ have detected this upload and have made a complaint to Slingshot who have passed it on to you.
#Azurus vuze software
The Azureus software not only downloads the song, it also uploads it to other people who want it (this is why it’s called peer to peer file sharing).
#Azurus vuze download
They’re saying that someone at your house has installed a piece of software called Azureus (also called Vuze) and they’ve used that to download a song called Beautiful People by Chris Brown.
What is this meant to mean to someone who doesn’t understand what file sharing is? The information included by Slingshot may have explained the law but made a very poor effort at explaining what she was accused of. Restricted Act: Copyright has been infringed by this account holder communicating the work to the public (16(1)(f))įile Sharing Application: Azureus 4.5.0.4 Type of Copyright Work: Sound recording (14(1)(b)) Name of the file: Chris Brown – Beautiful People.mp3Ĭopyright Owner: Sony Music Entertainment Incorporated Her confusion is quite understandable when you look at the notice (identifying details removed): Perhaps my older 2 adult children or my boarders have done this? Any advice would be very much appreciated. My teenage daughter says she can’t stand the song and I don’t even know the song. Just got this and as a 52 year old single mum I can’t understand what they mean about that the alleged infringed song has been communicated to the public? Is the infringement about the song being downloaded of shared publicly or both? I’m horribly confused. We received a communication from someone who had received an initial detection notice. Copyright Act working as intended – kind ofįinally we come to a case where the Copyright Act did work as intended – but only after the intervention of Tech Liberty. There is also evidence to show that they didn’t understand the first two notices they received enough to be able to take action to prevent the third enforcement notice. As in the last judgement, the evidence would appear to show that the defendant did not really understand the process nor what they had been accused of – rather it seems likely that their 8 and 12 year old sons might have done it. Second Copyright Tribunal DecisionĪ second decision has been made with the Copyright Tribunal ordering a 50 year old father to pay $557 to RIANZ for sharing two songs (one twice).
No further details of the case are known, so was it another fatally flawed case like the first withdrawn case or is RIANZ just not prepared to fly down to Christchurch to appear before the Tribunal? 2. RIANZ withdraws from another defended hearingĪnother defended hearing was scheduled to go to the Copyright Tribunal this month but RIANZ has withdrawn the complaint (info from phone call to Copyright Tribunal). Three brief items about the Copyright Act and the Copyright Tribunal: 1.
