[governance] European Court of Justice [#Intellectual Property #ISP #Internet Filtering #Human Rights #Privacy]

Thu Nov 24 13:44:25 EST 2011

Dear All,

I found this Judgment interesting in the wake of the controversies
surrounding SOPA.

There are some interesting developments by the European Court of Justice on
the prioritisation of rights, where
EU law precludes the imposition of an injunction by a national court which
requires an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to install a filtering system
with a view to preventing the illegal downloading of files, see the Press
Release:
http://curia.europa.eu/jcms/upload/docs/application/pdf/2011-11/cp110126en.pdf

The actual Judgment that was just released on the 24th November, 2011 is
available here:
http://curia.europa.eu/jurisp/cgi-bin/form.pl?lang=EN&Submit=Submit&numaff=C-70/10

The judgment of course is available in a host of European languages.

Kind Regards,
