Communication Minister Stephen Conroy reveal that he won't push for new laws to curb illegal file-sharing while the movie and internet industries are unable to work together.
In addition he quoted to the ABC website Hungry Beast that it was a great disappointment to learn that the industries had ended up in court rather than working together towards dealing with the problem.
"I think that a mature approach by both the movie industry and the internet industry – sitting down, having a conversation and coming up with a code of practice – is the absolutely preferable outcome", he added.
iiNet, the internet service provider, reported a win in a major legal battle over whether it should be held responsible for its customers downloading content illegally.
Senator Conroy posing his optimistic nature hopes that the industries would definitely conglomerate to deal with the situation and soon come up with a solution.
He quotes, "But what I would still hope is that we can bring them together to sit down and settle their differences, create a code of practice that actually protects both parties".
