"In other words, just putting files in a computer directory that other people can access is insufficient an action to constitute illegal distribution - at least under Canadian law." More details in the link.

Judge compares files a publicly accessible directory to books in a library with a copy machine.

"I cannot see a real difference between a library that places a photocopy machine in a room full of copyrighted material and a computer user that places a personal copy on a shared directory linked to a P2P service," he said.

法官也是在瞎掰

图书馆也不能让你复印整本书

在P2P世界,你见过谁提示你说copy我的文件,只能copy up to 10%,否则你就侵犯了版权所有人的版权

法官也是在瞎掰

Agree. There is no comparison between copyright of the book in library and the shared file on computer; at least, the legislation need to be updated in order catch up to the invention of the new media and technology. This is always the controversial issue of intellectual property nowadays.

 

[Obiwan]

This ruling definitely expanded the grey areas on intellectual property rights. It is premature to pass law as such.

法官判的对.在图书馆里复印一本书中的某一章,跟P2P share一个Album中的某一首歌本质上是一样的.

唱片公司卖给用户的产品,是一首一首地卖吗?TY反驳的例子不当.

校长。

是几页还是整本，是量的问题。能不能，是质的问题。
唱片厂争的是，如果你把唱片放在一个Share Folder里，
（不管有没有人打捞）就违反了版权。

TLM,就凭这句话就可以断定你连新闻内容都没完整地看过一遍.

A Canadian judge has dealt a blow to the global record industry's anti-piracy campaign by declaring that sharing music over the internet is not illegal.

Justice Konrad von Finckenstein has refused the Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA) a court order to force five Canadian internet service providers to reveal the names, phone numbers and addresses of 29 file-sharers the CRIA believed were infringing copyright.

CRIA没有包括电影和软件行业.不能这个判例来为软件和电影的盗版辩护.把电影放到网上而获罪坐牢的CASE去年就有了.
