“This is a very important test case for the internet industry in Australia. It will test the effect of the safe harbour provisions that were introduced with the US free trade agreement, which provides immunity for ISPs in certain circumstances such as transmission, hosting, caching and referencing activities.” - Peter Coroneos, chief executive of the Internet Industry Association
