In Australia it was determined that an ISP bears no responsibly to respond to allegations of copyright infringement by ISP users. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roadshow_Films_Pty_Ltd_v_iiNet... Of course Telco's can choose to be involved, perhaps accept payment to lookup and snitch, etc. but for the most part a number of ISPs in Au just wash their hands of devoting resources to play connect the dots for others. |

1. Copyright holder files bullshit charges against the IP holder. 2. Police investigates and for this purpose gets the personal data for the given IP address. 3. Copyright holder gets personal data of the subscriber from the police. 4. Copyright holder aborts charges so police stops investigation and is no longer involved. 5. Copyright holder contacts the subscriber to extort money.
Police complained about the many bullshit charges, so of course a law was made so ISPs had to give out personal data directly to the copyright holders.
