Has the law been changed? It was not illegal to have a link on your website only the file itself.
@thehan
I do agree with your view on UK, We are not really united we even row about football teams in our own countries. However the article dosen't mention Scotland. Dewsbury is in England, unless of course you guys have one as well.
I am English. Not a real Lord of course. I took that avatar after checking that there is no Lord Hook.

THAT'S what you people get from this? LOL, must not be a story worth writing. Or maybe none of us are bitorrent fans.
Reminds me of another story: a friend of mine was in an accident where one of her friends was killed. The story was on a local internet website. The comments, there were four, consisted of an argument over whether a Dodge Caravan was an SUV or minivan!

Don't believe the government when they say they aren't spying and executing per-emptive thought policing. Most people arrested for doing things on the internet are arrested under the anti terror legislation but 98% end up with being charged with something else or released. You can be arrested on suspicion of your maybe going to commit a crime, welcome to the future
keep it up

Exactly: George Owell's Thought Police in his book "1984".

while, i'm not an expert on English law this does smack of a bought action via ascap/bmi
further it isnt very logical either
as i read it it appears that the problem isn't that they had links but that they didn't have a license to have the links? (from the PIPCU quote in fourth paragraph)
so with this logic, if here in the USA, in the 1930's, a map maker, lets say Rand McNally for example, had decided to make a road map to every Speakeasy in New York then Ness would have raided the publisher for not getting a license to make a map?
instead they should have used the website to identify the law breakers not arrest the reporter
so does anyone know exactly what license the website needed?
