regime for taking enforcement action against people who in- fringe copyright through file sharing.

(4) After an enforcement notice is issued to an alleged infringer, the rights owner may take enforcement action by seeking the following orders against the alleged infringer: (a) an order from the Tribunal for a sum of up to $15,000: (b) an order from a District Court requiring the IPAP to

suspend the account holder’s Internet account for up to 6 months.

(5) Time limits apply to all stages of the regime. (6) This section is by way of explanation only. If any provision is

inconsistent with it, the other provision prevails. Section 122B: inserted, on 1 September 2011, by section 6 of the Copyright (Infringing File Sharing) Amendment Act 2011 (2011 No 11).

other licences, to other persons in similar circum- stances; and

(b) the terms of those schemes or licences;— and shall exercise its powers so as to ensure that there is no unreasonable discrimination between licensees, or prospective licensees, under the scheme or licence to which the reference or application relates and licensees under other schemes oper- ated by, or other licences granted by, the same person.

moters of the entertainment or other event; and (b) shall not hold a refusal or failure to grant a licence to be

unreasonable if the licence could not have been granted consistently with any such conditions.
