REASONS FOR JUDGMENT

BURLEY J:

1 The applicants, Roadshow Films Pty Ltd ACN 100 746 870 and others, seek orders extending site blocking orders made by the court pursuant to s 115A of the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth) for various “target online locations” that the applicants contend infringe or facilitate the infringement of their copyright works.

2 Earlier decisions in the present proceedings are:

Roadshow Films Pty Limited v Telstra Corporation Limited [2020] FCA 507; 151 IPR 449;

Roadshow Films Pty Limited v Telstra Corporation Limited (No 2) [2020] FCA 769; 153 IPR 317; and

Roadshow Films Pty Ltd v Telstra Corporation Limited (Extension of Orders) [2023] FCA 1167.

3 On 15 October 2024, I made orders providing, amongst other things, a procedure whereby Roadshow could take steps to seek extensions and variations of earlier site blocking orders without the need for a further court hearing. Experience with the site blocking regime since it first came into effect in 2016 indicates that overseas locations engaged in the wholesale facilitation of copyright infringement, typically in cinematographic works, often change their online location, domain name, URL or IP Addresses to thwart the effect of earlier orders. The scheme of s 115A of the Copyright Act is designed to ensure, subject to Court supervision, that such sites are expeditiously closed down; see Roadshow Films (Extension of Orders) at [26] (Burley J).

4 The procedure set out in the 15 October 2024 orders provides:

11. The parties have liberty to apply on 3 days' written notice, including, without limitation, for the purpose of any application:

(a) for further orders to give effect to the terms of these Orders;

(b) for further orders in the event of any material change of circumstances including, without limitation, in respect of the consequences for the parties and effectiveness of the technical methods under Order 2;

(c) for orders relating to other means of accessing the Target Online Locations not already covered by these Orders; and/or

(d) for an order in this proceeding extending the period of operation of the orders.

12. If a website the subject of any of the Target Online Locations is at any time during the operation of these Orders provided from a different Domain Name, IP Address or URL outside Australia, the Applicants may, by their solicitor:

(a) file and serve a notice in writing to the Respondents and the Court that:

(i) identifies the different Domain Name, IP Address or URL; and

(ii) certifies that, in the good faith belief of the Applicants and their solicitor, the website operated from the different Domain Name, IP Address or URL is a new location for any of the Target Online Locations the subject of these Orders and brief reasons therefore;

(b) within 7 business days of the notice given pursuant to Order 12(a), the Respondents must notify the Applicants and the Court in writing if they object to taking steps pursuant to Order 1 to disable access to the Domain Name, IP Address or URL notified in accordance with Order 12(a);

(c) if any Respondent objects to disabling a Domain Name, IP Address or URL notified in accordance with Order 12(a), or the Court otherwise considers it appropriate to do so, the proceeding will be relisted for further directions; and

(d) if, within the time period specified in Order 12(b) no Respondent objects to disabling access to any Domain Name, IP Address or URL notified in accordance with Order 12(a) and the Court does not otherwise require the proceeding to be relisted, then upon receipt of a notification from the Applicants that the Court does not require the matter to be relisted, that Respondents must take steps pursuant to Order 1 to disable access to the Domain Name, IP Address or URL notified in accordance with Order 12(a).

13. These Orders are to operate for a period of 3 years from the date of these Orders.

14. If an applicant makes an application under order 11(d) to extend the period of operation of these orders, the following procedure applies:

(a) the application must be made at least 28 days prior to the expiry of the operation of the orders by filing a minute of the orders sought together with a solicitor's certification in accordance with (b) below;

(b) a solicitor on behalf of the Applicant must certify that:

(i) within 6 weeks prior to the application, the solicitor or another representative of the Applicant has attempted to access each Target Online Location via each Target Domain Name;

(ii) following the exercise in (b)(i) above, the solicitor has a good faith belief that each Target Online Location that is the subject of the application has not permanently ceased to have the primary purpose or effect of infringing or facilitating the infringement of copyright, and that each Target Domain Name, Target URL or Target IP address that is the subject of the application has not permanently ceased to enable or facilitate access to a Target Online Location;

(c) the Applicant has given the Respondents at least 7 days' notice of the application; the accompanying minute of order may specify any Target Domain Names, Target URLs or Target IP addresses that are excluded from the application;

(d) within 7 days of receiving notice of the application, any Respondent objecting to the extension of these orders must notify the Applicant and the Court in writing of the objection and the reasons therefore;

(e) if any Respondent objects in accordance with (d) above, the proceeding will be relisted for directions, unless the Court otherwise orders;

(f) if no Respondent gives notice of any objection, then the Court may make orders in terms of the Applicant’s minute without any further hearing;

(g) the Applicant must serve on the Respondents any such orders made; and

(h) the Applicant must attempt to give each relevant Target Online Location notice of the Orders made by sending an email to one email address identified by such Location as providing a means to contact its operator or administrator (if any is identified), further notifying it that it may seek to vary or set aside such Orders upon the filing of a notice of appearance with the Court and an appropriate application, supported by affidavit evidence.

5 I am satisfied that Roadshow has complied with this procedure and that it is appropriate to make the orders sought.

I certify that the preceding five (5) numbered paragraphs are a true copy of the Reasons for Judgment of the Honourable Justice Burley.
