Austalian Internet service providers (ISPs) 'Telstra' and 'Eftel' have been raided over an investigation into alleged music piracy, which could be worth up to $60 million:
It's understood the police were seeking information about the identities of particular subscribers, as well as music files that may have been stored by them on servers.
According to sources, the wholesale value of the allegedly pirated music may be as high as $60 million - making it one of Australia's largest copyright infringement investigations.
Simon Ehrenfeld, the chief executive of Eftel parent company Datafast Telecommunications, said the company had co-operated with police, and had provided information relating to a subscriber. The ISP had also closed the subscriber's website.
A Telstra spokesman confirmed a police search had been undertaken, but said "these things happen all the time".Eftel has about 50,000 subscribers. Telstra has about 1.4 million.
Warrants were also executed at several other un-named internet service providers, with more warrants possible as the investigation continues
