Hand over user info, ePhone ordered
p2pnet news view Freedom | P2P:- Sweden’s Supreme Court says broadband provider ePhone must hand over customer data to five audio book publishers.
This means iePhone can’t destroy information about a person targeted by the five “under threat of a 500,000 kronor ($70,000) fine”, says The Local.
The ruling overturns an earlier appeals court decision.
It also means the first legal challenge under Sweden’s new anti-piracy law “has ended in favour of copyright holders,” says the story.
“The decision prohibits ePhone from destroying information about the identity of the person who operates a server containing several audio book sound files.”
