Judge throws book at Usenet.com in RIAA lawsuit – Ars Technica
Tja, jetzt gibts nen Präzedenzfall… da wirds nicht mehr lange dauern, bis auch in Europa die ersten Köpfe rollen.
A federal judge yesterday found Usenet.com liable for just about every copyright infringement claim on the books: direct infringement, inducement of infringement, contributory infringement, and (just for good measure) vicarious infringement. Not content to be loud and proud about its pro-pirate agenda, Usenet.com also resorted to stonewalling legal questionnaires, sending employees to Europe to avoid depositions, wiping hard drives, and failing to turn over e-mail after being sued in 2007 by the music labels.
