15.07.05 - Australian Man Found Guilty for Hyperlinking
Seems an Australian ruling has found hyperlinking to sites offering illegal direct downloads is illegal. Not at all suprising but this is the first case of linking to another server with illegal copies of music being found guilty in Australia.
Quote:
It took almost two years but major record labels in Australia have finally won a legal battle against a Queensland man and his Internet Service Provider for alleged music piracy.

Stephen Cooper, operator of the mp3s4free Web site, was found guilty of copyright infringement by Federal Court Justice Brian Tamberlin.

Although Cooper didn't host pirated recordings per se, the court found he breached the law by creating hyperlinks to sites that had infringing sound recordings.

This is the first such judgement against hyperlinking in Australia.

Tamberlin found against all other respondents in the case, namely ISP Comcen, its employee Chris Takoushis, Comcen's parent company E-Talk Communications, and its director Liam Bal.

In October 2003, the record companies, which included Universal Music, Sony, Warner and EMI, alleged that Cooper cooperated with Bal and Takoushis to increase traffic to the ISP, and aide advertising revenue.

Subsequently, the court was told Cooper was unaware he may have infringed copyright law, while E-Talk and Comcen argued they didn't know of Cooper's actions.

In handing down his judgement today, Tamberlin said: "I am satisfied there has been infringement of copyright.

"I won't make formal orders as yet. But since there's been infringments ...the respondents must pay the applicants' costs."
