we have two holiday cottages on the farm, and there is a WIFI access

Never had problems, but yesterday i got an email from BT saying my

infringed copyright. Email is genuine as logging into my BT account
the
details are there

Wasn't me so it must have been one of the guests. i can't for the

Personally, before wasting a penny, I'd pop over to a legal
ng, and establish what - if any - your obligations are.

None.

Can you cite something to backup this assertion?

I thought the opposite was true as per:
The Electronic Commerce (EC Directive) Regulations 2002
Regulation 19 where providers may be sued for known unlawful activity.

He isnt a provider in that sense.

Does he provide holiday cottages for free, or is it part of a commercial
undertaking.

It isnt the provision of those that that regulation is about.

If on a commercial basis he is a provider as per The Electronic Commerce
(EC Directive) Regulations 2002.

Wrong.

Because that directive covers communications, not renting out cottages.

Perhaps Aussie law is different?
