A recent High Court ruling found an indexing company which sorts postings to Usenet groups liable for the copyright infringing actions of its users. The judgment details how Internet Service Providers (ISPs) can be held liable for their involvement in facilitating copyright infringement. This case is of particular importance to the FE and HE sector as it offers clarification on the role of ISPs in relation to shared liability in respect of breach of copyright by those using their services. For the full details of the case please refer to the judgment at: http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Ch/2010/608.html.
