Los Angeles
– An Italian court has ruled that Internet service providers should not be held
liable for the actions of their customers, rejecting calls from copyright
holders to compel ISPs to monitor users and block purported illegal
file-sharing websites, TorrentFreak reported.
The local film anti-piracy group
Fapav (Federazione Anti-Pirateria Audiovisiva) filed suit against Telecom
Italia in a bid to compel the country’s largest ISP to take actions against its
subscribers.
The court did side with copyright holders on one issue, namely
that ISPs must forward complaints of infringement from copyright holders to
local prosecutors.
