UK High Court Orders ISPs to Identify File-sharers
securitas writes "The BBC reports that the British High Court has ordered Internet service providers (ISPs) to divulge the identities of 28 customers accused of music file-sharing to the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), the UK equivalent of the RIAA. The court order issued by Mr Justice Blackburne is a big victory for the BPI and its umbrella oranization, International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), especially after recent setbacks in Canada (CRIA) and the USA. Blackburne is quoted as saying, 'On the face of it this appears to be a powerful case of copyright infringement.' The ISPs have 14 days to comply with the court order. More coverage at the Guardian/Reuters and the Register."
I thought only Bush wanted to take away freedoms and civil liberties, not the enlightened, peaceful Europeans. Just goes to show that the "Bush is worse than Hitler", anti-Patriot Act, war protesting Euro-trash aren't more free than us Americans after all. :)
typical self centered "i am above you" attitude of slashdot script-kiddies (I am glad the adults are not like you). Ignore content and pick about the individual portions so YOU appear to be better then them. The content was thoughtful, while your comments are inflamitory and border on flamebait trolling.
The parent post was right, your asshat retort is not WARRANTED. Now go away, don't go away mad, just go away...(would gamble that YOU are one of those CRIMINALS distributing/sharing copyrighted materials, which is not infringment, it is THEFT, WHICH IS ILLEGAL, aka - A CRIME!)
