Major labels are pushing aggressively for ISP-level monitoring, filtering, and intervention against infringing users. But that crusade is stirring a mixture of sympathetic and unsympathetic outcomes.
Just this week, a German court ruled that matching ISP addresses with user identities goes too far, at least in the context of copyright infringement lawsuits. The Federal Constitutional Court authorized identity disclosure in more serious cases of terrorism or murder, but deemed IP-related offenses as less serious, according to a report published in TorrentFreak. The ruling means that media companies cannot extract identities from ISPs as part of their enforcement campaigns.
The ruling mirrors an earlier development in Italy.
Just recently, Italian agency Garante della Privacy ruled that it was
illegal for anti-piracy firm Logistep to harvest the IP addresses of
suspected infringers.
