CRIA Files Massive Canadian Suit Against IsoHunt

Posted by Soulskill on Monday February 14, 2011 @05:01PM from the payable-in-hockey-pucks dept.

An anonymous reader writes "After claiming for years that Canada has lax copyright laws that can't deal with downloading, 26 record labels have secretly filed a massive lawsuit against isoHunt. The suit was filed three weeks before Canada introduced the Canadian DMCA, yet the industry did not disclose the suit and regularly claimed it was powerless to do anything about the site."

It is well known that Google will hand edit search results so that particular content comes first or otherwise make the result more prominent. Google has no more copyright claim to the websites it links to than IsoHunt does to the torrents it links to. If IsoHunt is breaking the law, Google most certainly is as well.
