It is an important victory that won MP3tunes to disk 15 houses in the United States...
MP3tunes was attacked in court in 2008 by disk 15 houses, including EMI, who accused him of promoting illegal music copying and piracy. MP3tunes, in principle, very much like the new offerings that will emerge from the stored music in the cloud, and in particular to Google Music. Indeed, it is a service that Internet users put themselves in line their pieces of music. Stored online, "in the cloud", they can then listen to them from any computer or connected terminal.
But the New York judge in charge of this case eventually decide in favour of MP3tunes. It has everything simply believed that the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) in which to do disk homes does force MP3tunes to control the nature of the pieces that send its users on its servers. In other words, host status was recognized, and it assumes as such not the responsibility of files that users store in his home. A status close to that which is granted to Megaupload or RapidShare for example.
However, as required by law, MP3tunes must remove illegal its servers pieces if it receives the request for a right having. It is therefore a matter that much reminiscent of that which is currently entangled Hotfile, and who should make case for accommodation and direct download site. Not to mention Amazon or Google therefore, who launched music services that share many similarities with the online storage system proposed by MP3tunes...
