he was cleared in the criminal courts of conspiracy to defraud a jumped up charge to enable the BPI (sony, emi, warner, universal)in the future to prosecute without having to fund civil cases.

all that will happen is the case will be taken through the civil courts as it rightly should be not wasting either the polices & criminal courts time or tax payers monies.

the civil litigation fees is what the media industry is desperately trying to avoid and i suspect there will be global rules that copywrite infringement must be policed & paid for by the tax payer in the secret ACTA treaty that is being drawn up by the media cartels with civil groups being denied access.

it will go like this, USA says "hey little country, you WILL enforce our global laws or we will cancel WTO & IMF support so you will starve to death".

Michael Geist sez, "Reports from Costa Rica indicate that final approval of the Central American Free Trade Agreement with the United States is languishing in the Legislative Assembly due to concerns over the copyright provisions. The CAFTA copyright provisions are similar to those found in the other major U.S. trade agreements concluded in recent years: DMCA-style protections, ISP liability, and copyright term extension are all part of the package.

not really as the media industry are now going to have to fund a civil case and not waste tax payers monies on a jumped up charge.

i'm guessing that soon the law will be changed though and the cases will be using the public purse for litigation.

if this does happen it will be a very sad day as the media industry would have convinced our governments that what essentially is a civil matter is now a criminal offence purely for them to avoid the court costs.
