Reconsider the "Dallas Buyers Club LLC v iiNet Limited [2015] FCA 317" Court Ruling
- Target:
- Australian Federal Court
- Region:
- Australia
On the date 7th April 2015, the Honourable Justice Perram J in Sydney ruled an order that allowed Dallas Buyers Club LLC and Voltage Pictures LLC to attain the private information of customers that it requests from iiNet and various smaller ISPs. Justice Perram also did not put a monetary cap on the amount that can be compensated by Dallas Buyers Club, thus allowing individual customers to be charged highly damaging amounts.
All the above is felt to be a violation of the privacy policy users agreed to when signing the contract between the ISP and customer and furthermore unfairly puts users at risk of being charged unfairly high compensation amounts by Dallas Buyers Club LLC.
The ruling can also be considered unreasonable as owners of shared PC's could be sent warning letters about actions they have not done. Public or unlocked or hacked wireless networks also fall under this category where the wrong people may be charged or warned.
The undersigned appeal the ruling made by the Australian Federal Court and Justice Perram J on the "Dallas Buyers Club VS iiNet" case and call upon change to the ruling.
