German Government - Data Retention is for Terrorists, Not Copyright Infringers
Date : 2008 01 06 Category : Web News
Last year, ZeroPaid reported on the German music industry saying it would sue 1000 file-sharers every month in the year of 2007. This crackdown on copyright infringement was an attempt to deter file-sharers, making it seem as though one couldn't get away with it in Germany. A new report on Heise Online seems to show a significant setback on the file-sharing crackdown - namely the new resistance to using data retention laws in civil matters.
