DJ In
Italy Hit With Biggest MP3 Piracy Fine In Europe
FMQB - Cherry Hill,NJ,USA
An Italian deejay has been fined a record €1.4 million for using hundreds of
pirated music files in a well-known local nightclub near Rome. The deejay was
discovered with more than 2,000 MP3 music files suspected to be illegal
downloads, along with 500 pirated video clips.
The fine, set by the Italian Fiscal Police of Rieti (Rome), is the biggest fine
to be imposed on an individual in Europe to date for the unlawful copying and
use of copyrighted music in the MP3 format (the fine is subject to
administrative recourse). The deejay may be subject to further criminal
sanctions.
