> Proposed amendments to Act no. 2 of 12 May 1961 relating to copyright in literary, scientific and artistic works (Copyright Act) - measures against illegal file-sharing and other copyright infringements on the Internet.

> 
> Summary :
> The proposal contains measures against copyright infringements on the Internet and is part of the ongoing overall revision of the Norwegian Copyright Act.
>        
>         This proposal regarding copyright infringements on the Internet has three main points - the two first points are clearly related:
>        
>         1. The first proposal is to give right holders the opportunity to monitor and store IP-addresses which have been used for copyright infringement. Today, this activity requires a concession (license) from the Data Inspectorate. According to the proposal such concession is no longer needed, but those who monitor and save data have to report their activity to the Data Inspectorate.
>        
>         2. The second proposal is to introduce new regulation in the Copyright Act regarding access to the identity behind an IP address which has been used for copyright infringements. The proposal clarifies the procedure for courts to follow when considering to impose an ISP to reveal the identity behind such IP address to the right holder. After a judicial decision right holders can get access to the identity of the holder of the subscription that has used the IP address at the time of the infringement.
>        
>         3. The third proposal is to introduce new regulation according to which ISPs can be imposed to hinder access to web sites where copyright evidently and extensively is being infringed. The proposal contains two alternatives regarding which authority that should decide such an injunction: The Norwegian Media Authority or the courts of general jurisdiction. This proposal clarifies the Norwegian implementation of the Copyright/InfoSoc Directive (2001/29/EC) article 8.3.
