內容大概是指美國已裁定二家分別為 Morpheus & Gorkster 因開發"檔案交換軟體(P2P)"而觸犯著作權，IFPI 也將於明天對台灣的EZPEER提出相對的訴訟。

IFPI 也希望台灣的法律能夠相對的參照美國法庭判決還給他們一個"公道"

ps: EZPEER 是現在最大的嗎？ 好像不是吧！ KURO好像也縮小了。

IFPI calls on courts to follow U.S. on P2P files

"This is an astounding victory for the music industry," said the jubilant Li Jui-bin of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) in Taiwan yesterday when referring to the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling, which deemed online sharing of P2P files illegal.
The U.S. Supreme Court decided on June 27 that Morpheus and Grokster, two Internet companies that allow users to share P2P files, have infringed on copyright laws and must be held legally responsible.

A P2P (or peer-to-peer) computer network is used for sharing content such as audio, video, data, or anything in digital format. The network enables file transfer without a dedicated server.

"Hopefully the courts in Taiwan will take on the same view as its U.S. counterpart," said Li. The verdict for the suit filed by the music industry in Taiwan against Ezpeer for violating copyright laws will be announced on Thursday.

"I am not against P2P," said Li. P2P is only harmful to the music industry when people exploit the technology, he explained.

According to statistics provided by IFPI, the number of albums sold in Taiwan decreased from 749 million in 2000 to last year's 445 million. The sharp decline in record sales has severely handicapped the local music business, said IFPI.

The suit brought against Ezpeer is the leading case in Taiwan, said Li, who explained that since the case is unprecedented, the prosecutors and lawyers involved in the case will face a lot of difficulties.

Li hoped that the courts in Taiwan will follow the U.S. example and grant the music industry its belated justice.
