A group, including Facebook and Twitter, told the Australian Senate Committees on Environment and Communications that the proposed amendments to block pirate domains "extend far beyond reason".
The Australian government introduced the new legislation in October, proposing to extend website blocking laws piracys from service providers and companies that have online machines searchs.
The bill will also allow for faster engagement of mirror sites, and it will no longer be necessary for these sites to be hosted within Australia.
"Our members spend thousands of hours and millions of dollars developing technology solutions to combat cyber-infringement, redirect search results, and develop better ways to handle takedown notices," said Digital Industry Group Inc ( DIGI), whose members include except το Facebook, και το Twitter, την Google, το Instagram, Yahoo, YouTube, Redbubble and Oath.
The statement is available in PDF and filed in the Copyright Amendment (Online Infringement) for the 2018 Bill.
In accordance with DIGI and the companies that make up it, there are five major issues in the bill that do not need modifications, as the request for site exclusion was never dismissed by the court.
- The amendments make the bill so wide that there is a risk of blocking legitimate websites as well.
- The ban on internet search engines is "unprecedented and unnecessary."
- The status of safe harbors should be widened by extending the new web-blocking system.
- And that abolishing the supervision of a Federal Court is "extremely problematic"
Let's wait for the results of the race of large technology companies, although we do not expect that the industry Hollywood he will raise his hands.
