Well he's been found not guitly of fraud, but what of the 'authorising infringement' angle? I wonder if anyone had thought how it would apply to a CD reader? Or a DVD writer? Or a hard drive for that matter? There are many means around to make copying of copyrighted material significantly easier. I suggest that being able to rip the cd's to a near identical digital file on one's hard drive has been far more key than one private bittorent tracker. So taking this logic further could we soon perhaps see Sony in court, sueing themselves for copyright infringement?
