Canada’s Federal Court has ruled that the Canadian Recording Industry Association didn’t prove there was copyright infringement by the uploaders it was trying to sue.

The ruling, and its ramifications, will likely have a tremendous effect on Canadian cyberlaw.

See, good things can happen if the judiciary is independent.
