Spanish court rules its legal to share P2P download links
(c) Andre "DVDBack23" Yoskowitz
A Spanish court has ruled that it is infact legal for a site to provide links
to P2P downloads as long as they are not offering the files themselves and not
working for "commercial gain."
The Provincial Court of Madrid ruled in favor of Sharemula.com, a site whose
sole purpose was to index eDonkey links to movies, games and music. eDonkey
links are very similar to that of .torrent files, which do not contain any
copyrighted material themselves but lead to such files.
"The hearing confirms the position of the defense that linking to P2P networks
does not constitute a criminal offense," added David Bravo, a lawyer for the
defense.
This decision should be welcomed by the administrators of Mininova and the
Pirate Bay
