кое-где, впрочем, еще сохранились остатки здравого смысла:
A fairly small eDonkey and BitTorrent link site called elrincondejesus.com was sued almost a year ago by a local music industry group, SGAE (Sociedad General de Autores y Editores), for alleged copyright infringement on the site. The group initially tried to get a court injunction on the site, to take it offline before a full hearing of the case, but the request was denied by the presiding judge, Raul N. García Orejudo, claiming that P2P networks by themselves didn’t violate copyright law.
The case went to court and, after a somewhat lengthy process, the judge was ready to make a decision, unfortunately for SGAE not one in its favor. The judge believed that just linking to content that might be infringing wasn’t a violation and was not the same as distributing that content. He also noted that the law in Spain at the moment allowed this kind of sites to operate.
как хорошо, что одно из самых приятных для мест на земле — это Андалузия. туда и надо перебираться:
In the country, file-sharing is pretty much legal, as long as there aren’t any financial benefits for either party. This also weighed in on the judge’s decision, as this site didn’t have any advertising or any other form of revenue directly related to linking to the files. The judge not only declared these types of sites to be legal, but he also reiterated that individual users’ downloading copyrighted material from P2P networks for non-profit reasons was also legal in Spain.
