CIPPIC files argument in file-sharing case

CIPPIC filed its Memorandum of Argument today in Federal Court on the file-sharing litigation brought by the Canadian recording industry last month. We are arguing that the court should apply a high threshold test to the request for disclosure of subscriber identity, and that the record industry has failed to establish any case of copyright infringement. CIPPIC will be making oral arguments at the hearing in Toronto on March 12, 2004.
