Telecommunications industry group the Communications Alliance has released a proposal for a trial scheme under which it would send "education notices" to customers suspected of infringing copyright by uploading or downloading content such as movies, television shows, computer games and music.
This would be followed by up to three warning notices in a 12-month period. If a user continued to infringe, the copyright holder would be able to seek user details from the ISP, allowing them to institute legal action.
The signatories to the Australian proposal are Telstra BigPond, Optus, iiNet, iPrimus and Internode.
