Globetechnology: Appeals court opens door to music download suits
by multilinko (via)
Canadians who share music files on the Internet can now be sued by the record industry, but it will not be an easy process, according to legal experts.
A Canadian Federal Court of Appeal's decision, released Thursday afternoon, upheld a ruling last year denying the recording industry's demand that Internet Service Providers be forced to reveal the identities of 29 people that the Canadian Recording Industry Association had identified as major downloaders. But the appeals decision is being interpreted as a win by both sides in the music download debate, since it left the door open to future suits when the judge indicated copyright law must still be respected.
