COPYCENSE

"Internet service providers cannot be held liable for the copyright infringement of their subscribers, even when a cached copy of a work is held on local servers, a Canadian court has ruled.

"The decision on Wednesday marked an important victory for the country’s ISPs, which were worried about being held legally or financially responsible for subscribers’ use of peer-to-peer and other music downloading services."
