Music piracy research - news archive
Music piracy ('muziekpiraterij' in dutch) is a very complex phenomenon to comprehend. These pages wishes to address all of you who are interested in music piracy in a broad sense. You'll find 2721 articles related to music and video piracy (with special attention to articles from Belgium and the Netherlands) originating from 526 unique (web)sources.

IFPI welcomes Belgian internet piracy ruling
The ruling against 19-year university student Werner Beckers, whose blatantly pirate website linked users to up to 25,000 infringing files, is one of a small but growing number of cases in Europe to confirm unequivocally the power of the courts to crack down on internet pirates.
