Default Bad News for Content Owners Suing Bit Torrent Downloaders...

Quote:
Thousands of alleged BitTorrent users who were suspected of downloading the movie Far Cry have booked a significant victory in court. District Court Judge Rosemary Collyer ordered the copyright holder of the film, represented by the US Copyright Group, to limit their case only to those defendants there the Court had jurisdiction over.
Which basically means the lawyers will have to file similar suits in other US District Courts all over the US.

If other judges hearing these types of cases pick up and follow this ruling it will either (a) cause complaints to be filed in numerous jurisdictions or unfortunately might put an end to many of these lawsuits.
