Talking about effects on the telecom industry, my colleague, Mr. Braid, was concerned about the iPod levy under a compensatory regime for copyright. However, at the same time, his government is negotiating under the proposed anti-counterfeiting trade agreement on issues where they were looking at eliminating the safe harbour regimes for ISPs, so that ISPs would now be liable for lawsuits for whatever the consumers download.
I'd be very concerned that opening up cable companies to massive lawsuit infringements because they run the pipes would be seriously detrimental to people's willingness to invest in that market and to put forward more to try to capture more of the market. Do you think getting rid of ISP safe harbour liabilities would be a problem for our region?
