Europe may be illegal downloader’s dream

February 2nd, 2008 | by Chris Mendes

Earlier this week, the EU Court of Justice ruled that internet service providers should not share the identities of their customers when concerning civil lawsuits regarding illegal downloading. This serves as a major blow for the recording and movie industry as they lose virtually all chance of obtaining the identity of persons who are illegally sharing music and movies. The only choices these industries now have is to plead with attorney generals for criminal cases or find another way to obtain the identities of those illegally sharing media.
