Australian Attorney-General George Brandis and Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull will present their copyright law proposals to federal Cabinet on 9 December 2014. The proposed laws are not as tough as expected by rights holders. Instead of being penalised, illicit downloaders will receive written messages warning them that they are breaching copyright laws. Access to web sites hosting pirated materials will be blocked

A Roy Morgan Single Source survey has found that nine per cent of Australians aged 14+ with a home internet connection downloaded TV programs in an average four-week period during the year to June 2014. Meanwhile, seven per cent downloaded feature-length movies, nine per cent streamed TV and four per cent streamed movies. The survey also shows that those with an unlimited data allowance are less likely to say they have downloaded or streamed movies or TV shows than those with a capped data allowance of at least 100GB

The Australian Government plans to hold a forum with the CEOs of media groups and ISPs on the issue of illegal downloading of copyrighted material. It follows the release of a discussion paper by Attorney-General George Brandis and Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull, which examines options for combating the problem of internet piracy. The forum is likely to be held later in August 2014
