Legal Lessons Gleaned from Music Industry's High-Profile, File-Sharing Litigation

Stan Soocher

When the cash-strapped recording industry announced at the end of 2008 that it would largely drop its aggressive litigation campaign against unauthorized file sharers, some observers saw this as a defeat for record labels. But numerous court rulings have been issued over the past few years that debate and/or establish legal guidelines that will be referenced in file-sharer cases that are either still in the pipeline or may later crop up.
