Aus Gov't Eyes 'Three Strikes' Download Law

The Australian government has signalled it is looking at a "three strikes" legislation that would see constant illegal files downloaders lose their Internet access. "We will examine any U.K. legislation on this issue," communications minister, Stephen Conroy told a radio show here. Under the proposal, an illegal file sharer will be given a warning. This will be followed by a suspension of Internet access, and then cancellation. (Billboard)
