Supreme Court Ruling Makes Chasing File-Sharers Hugely Expensive

Quote:
A court ruling has not only sharply reduced the amount of compensation rightsholders can expect from Danish file-sharing cases, but has also drawn a line on evidential standards. To accurately claim their losses in future, rightsholders will have to gain physical access to an infringer?s computer. A leading lawyer in the field says the costs will prove prohibitively expensive.
about fucking time, it realy stupid that infringement cases have been won based on a potential amount of infringement that may or maynot have happened.

good that we are getting back to the innocent until PROVEN guilty standard that the law is supposed to follow.
