Michael, how far of a stretch that this same thinking might be brought to bear on the advertisers on copyright infringing websites (tubes and torrents in particular)? . |
I just saw a case where advertisers where hit with the same issue and the court ruled in the favor of the copyright holder. I will take a look and see if I can find it.
Here's another interesting case - Google lost in France for copyright infringement and were ordered to pay approx. 500,000 Euros for linking to infringing material.... This is the first time in my life that I can say the French are doing something better than the US Courts...
