INT. LOBBY, BANK -- DAY
Bozo and Grumpy move down the line of hostages- Bozo hands each Hostage OBJECTS from a bag. A GRENADE.
Grumpy follows, PULLING THE PINS.
GRUMPY
Obviously, we don't want you doing
anything with your hands other than
holding on for dear life.
BLAM. Chuckles is BLOWN OFF HIS FEET- Grumpy and Bozo DIVE for cover- the Bank Manager steps out of his office, SHOTGUN in hand. |
As in this opening scene from
The Dark Knight, the massive piracy lawsuit against iiNet began with a bang! Footage of
The Dark Knight was shown in Australian Federal Court as lawyers representing 34 motion picture studios--including Warner Bros, 20th Century Fox, and Village Roadshow--presented 94,942 instances where iiNet users made unauthorised copies of protected movies using file-sharing software such as BitTorrent.
Said the studios' attorney, Tony Bannon:
"There is no issue that infringements have been occurring on the iiNet network weekly, daily and hourly. iiNet authorised - that is sanctioned, countenanced and approved - these illegal activities on their network and only paid lip service to their own terms and conditions."
Should iiNet lose the case, the damages could drive it out of business. iiNet is currently Australia's third-largest internet service provider.
