Victory for EU privacy

The top European courts have today ruled once and for all that ISPs are not required to give up details of their subscribers in cases of a civil nature. This covers all cases where organizations request the details of suspected illegal file-sharers as it is not considered criminal law.

This is fantastic news which will quash a lot of the big anti piracy organizations abusive tactics, as they cannot expect ISPs to be bullied into handing over the details of their subscribers, and thus will make it a lot harder for them to mount a decent case against anyone who shares files at all!

Shame such law doesn't apply in the US...
