Exclamation Internet users who download illegal copies of the latest movies and television shows

The Age reports that the film production industry is pressuring Australian Internet providers to start sending 'we know what you're doing' letters to customers who are tracked downloading copyright content, warning them they face disconnection or even legal action. The Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft, an industry body, has long wanted Internet providers to clamp down on illegal downloads, but has renewed its call after a recent preliminary agreement in Britain between studios, Internet providers and the government for greater intervention. The federation's last study, in 2005, found piracy cost the industry $250m a year, but executive director Adrianne Pecotic said the figure was likely to be much higher now because of the increased penetration of broadband.
