"Alan Ellis is not guilty of Conspiracy to Defraud the music industry. He walked out of Teesside Crown Court a free man today, his name cleared." Jolly good, but this is just the countdown to the criminalisation of sites like OiNK in the UK.

The BPI are prosecuting 28 filesharers, RIAA-style. Interesting that they've been spamming people via IM with warnings to stop using filesharing sites - can we prosecute them for that under EU anti-spam legislation?
