Various reports released yesterday  have incorrectly stated that the music industry&#8217;s counsel sought to have  the hearing delayed. The quote which has been widely misreported as  coming from the music industry&#8217;s counsel was in fact made by a counsel  for Foxtel Management Pty Ltd. Foxtel Management is a respondent in the  case in its capacity as an ISP.  <!--more-->  <br \/> Vanessa Hutley, General Manager of Music Rights Australia, who is  overseeing the case said: &#8220;Universal Music Australia Pty v TPG Internet  Pty Limited has been set down for hearing at the earliest date which the  court could give us. The Applicants did not seek to delay this case.  The case is on track and we are currently finalising the Applicants&#8217;  evidence in accordance with the timetable we proposed.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Music never sought to delay this important case as we believe the  expeditious grant of these orders will benefit all copyright owners and  their exclusive licensees whose creative content appears on the  KickassTorrents site without their permission. We look forward to the  matter being heard in October.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normal\">Source: <\/span><span class=\"normal\">Music Rights Australia<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Music Rights Australia issued a clarification about the progress of the music industry&#8217;s site blocking&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6054","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6054","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6054"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6054\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6054"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6054"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6054"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
