Dutch site linking to MP3 files loses court case
A Dutch music website which links to MP3 files had to stop promoting the infringement of artist rights and copyrights, the Dutch court of appeal said in a ruling that overturned an earlier one in favor of the site. I'm not sure about the $13,000 a day fine, but I'm sure there has been worse.
The website www.zoekmp3.nl, operated by Techno Design, had been taken down on Monday after the ruling on Friday which said that failure to comply with the injunction would lead to fines of 10,000 euros ($12,590) per day, or 1,000 euros per infringing file. Techno Design will also have to pay damages, with the amount to be determined at a later stage. Making mp3 files available on the internet is illegal under Dutch law, where it is done without the permission of the copyright owner.
