A US woman must pay US$220,000 to six major music labels after a federal jury found her guilty of illegally sharing copyright music online.
A Massachusetts court has blocked several recording industry subpoenas that are aimed at college song swappers, saying the universities involved are not immediately required to divulge the alleged file traders' identities.
The recording industry this week claimed progress in a controversial legal campaign targeting individuals who use peer-to-peer networks, but its optimism appeared to clash with at least some of the evidence, which remains murky.
The trial of three tertiary students arrested over a music piracy ring alleged to have cost the music industry around AU$60 million has been adjourned until July 8.
US universities have adopted a similar stance as their Australian counterparts by contesting demands from the music industry that they hand over personal information the music industry alleges contains proof of copyright infringement.
