I think it is important, particularly because it was noted during the Senate inquiry that the AFP had not done the work necessary to be able to give the committee full information about the application of the strict liability regime in any of its capacities. I would like to know the detail about how these fines would apply, given that there are still some consumers out there who might breach copyright. There might be something commercial tied up in that, but it does not make them any more of a criminal in doing that activity. I am still concerned about those inadvertent copyright breaches that might technically have a commercial element to them and the magnitude and application of the fine as a result of the strict liability offence.
