Music Industry Loses In Canadian Downloading Case

pref writes "'Canada's music industry can't force Internet service providers to identify online music sharers, a Federal Court judge has ruled.' They wanted the Internet service companies like Sympatico, Rogers and Shaw to give them the real identities of the individuals so they could sue them for copyright infringement. They were seeking a court order requiring the companies to provide the information. But they didn't get it, so the Internet companies don't have to identify their clients and the music companies can't proceed with their lawsuits.""

Actually you deserve a "-1 Clueless" rating

Any particular reason? Clueless as in don't know what I'm talking about? Or clueless because your country's record doesn't live up to the propaganda?
