Round #3051
Yupz, the makers Kazaa, the all too popular peer to peer sharing software, cannot be held liable for the copyright infringements of music and movies shared on its network.

For BUMA it’s a setback, because they’re probably going to follow the more time consuming road the American RIAA has taken (suing individuals).
