Foxtel: sending letters to pirates ‘isn’t efficient or good for consumers’
Foxtel has downplayed the significance of this week’s Dallas Buyers Club court case arguing the pursuit of individual downloaders through legal channels by copyright holders is not the right approach to curb piracy.
Speaking to Mumbrella about the court decision ahead of next week’s launch of Game of Thrones, director of corporate affairs at Foxtel Bruce Meagher said he did not believe the court ruling had broken much new ground.
“We don’t think it is efficient, we don’t think it is necessarily good for consumers if copyright owners spend all their time trying to prosecute people,” said Meagher.

Some imbeciles will never change their behaviour because ether are thieves. It’s like asking career criminals to change their behaviour.
holding back game of thrones from other services on an exclusive window fuels piracy buddy
And the Dallas buyers club outcome is going some way to swaying public opinion that copywrite infringement is theft and affects tens of thousands of jobs in this country
Even yours bruce
LOL, Foxtel have pretty much created the pirating culture by not offering product or packages people actually WANTED.
Now they are about to get their business model smashed by the SVOD services, and some Aussies are gonna keep pirating anyway….
Also, has anyone else noted the irony that a movie about buying substances illegally is the first to come after people who have bought digital pulses illegally. ?
Aye, a letter wont scare me!
LOL
Foxtel desperately trying to look le good guys after treating their customers with disdain for years
