Music Industry Claims Victory in Hong Kong Piracy Court Rule
An AFP newswire article, via Yahoo! News, reoprts that:
Hong Kong's music industry says it has been provided with a crucial weapon in the fight against online piracy after a court ruled Internet service providers hand over personal details on 22 suspected file sharers.
The High Court ordered four firms to submit details of the 22 sought by seven record labels, including the local subsidiaries of global giants like Sony and Warner.
The move is expected to result in legal proceedings against the 22 who are suspected of breaching copyright laws by illegally uploading more than 300 music files each onto the Internet, judicial sources said.
