Hopefully this is my final question on this matter. Can the Attorney not envisage circumstances where, as part of a criminal prosecution under the Copyright Act—particularly in relation to section 132, subsection 1, and section 132, subsection 2, where we are talking about that commercial grade where people are making money out of that breach of copyright and so it is clearly a criminal offence under the act—metadata may be sought from those who downloaded the material from the unauthorised provider, the copyright breaker, in order to build the case against the person being charged under section 132 of the act. If there is a concession to that effect—if the minister says that is the case—then I do not need to ask anything further on this.
