Description: 'The Politician' cartoon strip. The minister tells an adviser 'I can't wait to tell my son that if he illegally downloads music to his computer he can lose his Internet connection!' The adviser replies that the Minister can tell him now 'He's in your office using your computer'. Context - The Copyright (Infringing File Sharing) Amendment Bill was passed under urgency on Thursday morning by 111 votes to 11. It repeals section 92A of the Copyright Act, which allowed Internet Service Providers to disconnect clients accused of illegally downloading copyrighted material. The Government revised the bill because of concerns innocent people could be disconnected on the basis of an accusation alone. Under the new version, disconnection would occur by regulation after three warnings have been issued and the matter has been before the Copyright Tribunal.
