- 10 operators of either the target online locations or the streaming devices from which the relevant content is streamed. 39 I am satisfied that the feature films, episodes of television series and other pre-recorded content the subject of copyright delivered by the streaming devices operated using the facilitating applications available from the target online locations is being made available online in Australia without the permission of the relevant copyright owners in reach of copyright. 40 I am also satisfied that the primary purpose of the target online locations is to facilitate the infringement of copyright by making such material available online in Australia in circumstances where this occurs without the consent of the relevant copyright owners. The making available of this material online constitutes an infringement of the communication right: see s 86 and the definition of “communicate” in s 10 of the Act.
