I HOPE this sets a legal precedent in Europe. Mabye then the MPAA and RIAA here in the US may have the tide start to go against them around the world….

Mmm I don’t know. This reminds me of when in Italy a court decided that a file-sharer was not to be persecuted because he didn’t make money out of the files he had downloaded. The Italian government changed the Italian law to avoid having this precedent being used in future times.
I think the EU will change eventually its internal law to fight p2p/piracy. This news will probably speed things up.

I hope you are wrong. That would be a bad legal move for any country to change it’s laws to fit an industry….it is bad enough the US has such laws.
