For a server in New Zealand I assume it would be covered by our three strikes law (http://3strikes.net.nz). Rights holders can send infringement notices via the users ISP for a $25 fee. After three notices (from the same copyright holder) they can then take you to our copyright tribunal for damages.

From what I've heard some notices are being sent out, but RIAA have been complaining that the $25 fee is too high.

Did you mean too low?

No, RIAA has to pay the $25 fee to send an infringement notification. Therefore, they want the fee to be lower.

What they really mean is they want to have automated systems do it for them without worrying.

If each infringement "costs" them $150,000 then $25 is a small price to pay...

$ 25.00 can be considered a rather high fee for those sort of returns [I think].
