Indeed, good precedent, another win foe freedom!!!

My personal favourite still is the 1999 legislation legalizing home distilation of ethinol in new zealand! Cheers!

It’s like saying to the Power Companies “Drug producers use your product, therefore you should police how all people use your product!”

Is that likely to filter down to blog owners so (just for example) posters can say what they like and the blog owner is not liable?

Say yes, say yes, pretty please David!!!

Well, I guess we can’t sue the postal service if drugs are found in a parcel.

Or we can’t sue the television networks if they happen to report bullshit statements from the IPCC.

Life is tough.

Well said Jeff,

It was a bit tough on them as when file sharing started to hit it’s straps, they bore the brunt of it. Still, their intransigence and inability to adapt has seen them fall low in the eyes of many. Film and TV is starting to wake up to it (albeit very slowly) but their issue remains control and money. Until they get their new business models right i.e. adapting to a fast paced environment like the the internet, they will continue to suffer.

Tom, you’re a dick

Common sense wins, yay. The recording industry needs to awaken that they live in a new era and their model of old will no longer succed.
