[TheRegister] ‘Big Four’ lose filesharing case against Irish ISP

Posted on


A major ISP in Ireland has won a landmark illegal music downloads case against the ‘Big Four’ record labels today.

The record companies had been pushing for the rule to cut off alleged piracy by many of UPC’s customers in the country.

[…] the judge said that Ireland’s current legislation didn’t comply with European law, meaning that the “three strikes” rule could not be applied in the UPC case.
