Ezpeer found not guilty in landmark copyright verdict

By Jessie Ho (Taipei Times)

Taiwan's music industry suffered a setback yesterday when the Shihlin District Court found a local peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing operator not guilty of infringing intellectual property rights.

In the nation's first ruling on file-sharing cases, the court found that Weber Wu , president of Ezpeer -- which provides a for-fee platform for subscribers to swap files -- did not engage in reproducing or publicly distributing works of copyright holders.

This just emphasizes the international nature of our networks... there will always be one country that isn't a treaty member or has a more liberal view of intangible property rights. (Of course, I'm ignoring the facts and this could be a very narrow ruling.)
