Canadian Music Industry Applauds P2P File Sharing Ruling

An Australian court ruled today that the Kazaa file sharing network infringed on that countries' copyright laws. This may set a precedent and help support similar battles taking place in Canada and around the world. The decision comes only 10 weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court (see previous blog posting) ruled that file-sharing operators could be held liable if they induce people to violate music copyrights.
