Dutch Portal Cleared of Copyright Infringement

Posted by michael on from the those-crazy-dutch dept.

CRCates writes "A Dutch court in Haarlem has cleared Techno Design, the operator of Zoekmp3.nl, a music search engine portal, of copyright infringement. The case was launched by BREIN, the Dutch entertainment industry's anti-piracy group. The court ruled that providing links to an MP3 file does not constitute disclosure or publication of contents under Dutch copyright law."

    And they are.

    Sensible people would refuse to consider such obscene advertising.

    Stop being so lame, Amerika: your (lack of) gun laws kill more people than almost anything else. You can't show Janet Jackson's nipple of TV but you can go out, take in a Rambo movie, get drunk and buy a gun.

    Women around the world laugh at you. You're not real men. Either become responsible members of the global community or fade away.

    Mark me as troll, whatever, but I want to know ... why is this touted as a great thing for our rights? They won on a technicality, while still effectively running a site that they *knew* was about copyright infringement with no innocent other means. So, why is this a good thing?
