SABAM vs Tiscali
p2pnet.net News:- Belgian ISPs should block access to websites offering p2p software take "technical measures" so p2p software that’s already been downoaded can, "no longer be used," demands SABAM, the Belgian Society of Authors, Composers and Publishers.
Towards this goal, SABAM has, "instituted on a prohibitory injunction in the court of first instance of Brussels againgst the Internet service provider Tiscali," says DarkVision Hardware here, going on:
"SABAM wishes to put an end to the use in Belgium of all P2P file exchange programs through this injunction. In other countries proceedings have been instituted without success against the providers of this software. Because of this SABAM decided to act directly against those who allow websurfers to access these programs, i.e. the Internet service providers.
"SABAM demands that all Belgian ISPs block access to websites offering P2P software, and that they take technical measures so that already downloaded P2P software could no longer be used. This is the outcome that SABAM hopes to reach by currently instituting proceedings against Tiscali. This action is aimed at all P2P software programs on which copyrighted works are illegally exchanged.
"They hope that in the case of a positive outcome this could be put forward afterwards with the regard to all other Belgian Internet providers."
