Hello from my Legal Resources class. Doing research for a project, I came across a judgment issued almost a year ago yesterday.
Just a brief caption of it:
Plaintiffs brought action against 29 internet users who allegedly downloaded more than 1,000 songs over which producers had rights under Copyright Act onto their home computers[...] Motions judge determined that downloading songs for personal use did not amount to infringement[...]Motions judge held that mere fact of placing copy on shared directory in computer where that copy can be accesseed did not amount to distribution.
A small "win" for those who like to download music, but not the final say.
