Australia's Federal Court has refused an application [abc.net.au] from the makers of the movie Dallas Buyers Club which would have forced ISPs to hand over the details of customers who illegally downloaded the film.

The decision is a huge win for a group of ISPs — iiNet, Internode, Adam Internet, Dodo, Wideband and Amnet Broadband — which fought the application against the owners of the Oscar award-winning film, Dallas Buyers Club LLC.
