court upholds aimster ban by PC Pro - July 02, 2003 |
|
| Wednesday 2nd July 2003 "A US appeals court has upheld the injunction against the Aimster file sharing service. "Aimster, now renamed Madster, provided software that allows users to download files from other users hard disks via peer-to-peer (P2P) networks. "Cary Sherman, president of the RIAA, said, 'We're delighted by this decision which makes clear, as did the Napster decision, that companies cannot profit from copyright infringement. A peer-to-peer service is not off the hook simply because it claims there may be legitimate uses of its network. When these types of services exist primarily as a vehicle for copyright infringement, they have an obligation to try and reduce the illegal activity occurring on their networks." |
