Spanish Court Dismisses Piracy Case against Sharemula.com
24th Oct 2007
A website publishing download links through which users can acquire movies, music and software, has been recently dismissed by a Spanish magistrate.
The case was opened in October 2006 by the Brigade of Technological Investigations asking for the Sharemula.com website to be closed down for alleged copyright infringement. At that time the case was considered a big success by Federación Antipiratería in Spain (Anti-pirating Federation).
A year later, a Madrid court decided that the site and its administrators have not infringed any law as the links to P2P downloads have no commercial purposes. Furthermore, the site included no illegal content but only links to downloads. The defence of Sharemula was based on three previous similar rulings.
