Australian man, ISP found guilty of piracy
Steven Deare writes in C|Net News:
Major record labels in Australia have won a legal battle against a man and his ISP for alleged music piracy.
Stephen Cooper, operator of a Web site called MP3s4free.net, was found guilty Thursday of copyright infringement by Australia Federal Court Justice Brian Tamberlin.
Although Cooper didn't host pirated recordings per se, the court found the resident of the state of Queensland breached the law by creating hyperlinks to sites that had infringing sound recordings.
This is the first such judgment against hyperlinking in Australia.
