ISPs not liable for royalties, says Canada's Supreme Court

Canada's highest court has just ruled that ISPs cannot be forced to pay royalties on music downloaded by users:

In a unanimous 9-0 decision, the court ruled that although ISPs provide the hardware and technology, they aren't responsible for what people download. The court ruled that companies providing wide access to the web are "intermediaries" who are not bound by federal copyright legislation.
