A Canadian judge shoots at the music industry's legal case and leaves nothing but chicken feathers... woo hoo! "But then, after the industry's case was already weak and wobbly at the knees, he delivered the knockout punch: According to the judge, there is no compelling evidence that either downloading or sharing of digital music files is even illegal. In other words, regardless of the other flaws in the industry's case, the CRIA didn't have a leg to stand on in the first place." More. The full decision can be found here (the case is BMG Canada Inc.v. Jane Doe (2004 FC 488)). An intervention by the The Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic (CIPPIC) is also available. More information may be found on the CanFLI website.
