| Dutch file-sharers win reprieve
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4678893.stm Quote:
A Dutch judge has blocked attempts to find out who may be illegally sharing movies and music in Holland.
Dutch industry group Brein was behind the attempt to discover the identities of file-sharers following investigative work by a US firm.
But the judge said the US company had broken Dutch privacy laws which meant net service firms did not have to hand over data about name and addresses.
Anti-piracy group Brein said it would take the case to a higher court.
| Apparently, if Brien can prove they got the IP addresses legally, it's not an issue - and the judge will happily order the names released. Interesting.
I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.
