No Real Clear Cut Winners or Losers In Landmark “Cloud Piracy” Copyright Infringement Suit!

Both sides in this lengthy battle have taken away some victories and have been saddled with some legal admonishments.

The music storage locker service MP3tunes has scored a big win in its lengthy battle against EMI. U.S. District Judge William Pauley Image634496910691156000ruled that MP3tunes did not promote copyright infringement and that the service qualifies for “safe harbor” protection under the DMCA. The landmark verdict is good news for other cloud storage services offered by Dropbox, Grooveshark and Amazon.

A major battle over cloud-music services has been resolved, and on balance, it looks like a pretty solid win for the small music-locker service run by MP3tunes.
