How to Avoid Copyright Infringement Notices from ISP in Australia?

As you know, the final version of the “three strikes” anti-piracy code for Australian internet service providers (ISPs) has been published recently. Under the Copyright Notice Scheme code (PDF), residential Internet users that are found pirating content will be subject to a series of "escalating" warning notices from rights holders, sent via ISPs. The notices will warn users that they are infringing copyright, and that they will face legal action if they get three strikes recorded against their IP address - that is, if they receive an Education, Warning and Final notice - within a 12 month period. If a user gets three warning letters, or "strikes", in a 12-month period, ISPs will help copyright owners identify them for potential legal action after a hearing in a prescribed court. Up to 200,000 notices can be processed and sent each year.

Separate from the anti-piracy, website-blocking regime passed in June, the scheme was designed to warn consumers via notices to stop pirating or face the prospect of having their personal details handed over to rights holders if they got caught pirating more than three times.

It was originally envisaged that the code would take effect on 1 September. However, the start of the scheme has been delayed and it is now expected on December,1 - accodring to The Sydney Morning Herald

Such regimes are used in many countries and are commonly known as “three-strikes”. However, they are promoted as educational in nature, because suspected pirates just receive notifications of breach, which are meant to discourage further infringing behavior.

To prevent their IP-addresses from being visible to the rest of the Internet, thousands of Australian internet users have signed up to the VPN services. With a VPN Australians are able to use the Internet anonymously and prevent ISP and Government Agencies from tracking their online activity. VPN services hide real IP address of the users and they don’t log any traffic nor session data of any kind.

Recently, a part of ExtraTorrent community launched a VPN called by Trust.Zone VPN for safe torrenting. It's super safe and secure VPN which cares about safety of the bittorrent downloaders in Australia. Trust.Zone VPN prevents Australian ISP from sending Copyright Infringement Notices by hiding your real location and your real IP address.

Trust.Zone has founded by the part of ExtraTorrent community. The tool is free to use first 5 days of usage. If test period ends, unfortunately, the service asks for the money from you but..... our partners tried to make it as CHEAP as possible - $3.99/mo - it's the cheapest price among all popular VPN providers in Australia.

ExtraTorrent recommends joining VPN services for Australian users as soon as possile. A new anti-piracy code for Australian will be activated on December,1
