Canadian Recording Industry Association Appeals Court Ruling Regarding Peer-to-Peer File Sharing

The Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA) has appealed a court decision in March 2004, which prevented the CRIA from obtaining the identities of alleged file traders from their Internet service providers and stated that the mere act of music sharing does not appear to violate Canadian copyright law. The appeal was filed Monday, July 12, 2004. Reply comments are due in 30 days. The Federal Court of Appeal will set a date for arguments some time after this 30 day period.
