BPI Sue AllOfMp3 In British Courts

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the just-try-and-make-it-stick dept.

Ckwop writes "AllOfMp3 is getting sued by the British Phonographic Industry. From the article: "We have maintained all along that this site is illegal and that the operator of the site is breaking UK law by making sound recordings available to UK-based customers without the permission of copyright owners. Now we will have the opportunity to demonstrate in the UK courts the illegality of this site." " The issue of course will be whether any injunction will be enforceable or not.

    I doubt that anyone thinks such a lawsuit would be successful. However it might accomplish one important thing. It might raise awareness that what allofmp3 is doing is tantamount to piracy. It might stop people with conscience from using the site...
