The Committee to Nuke Elysium

Monique Wadsted, an attorney representing American record companies, was pleased with the ruling.

“In two years, this type of piracy will be over. After a ruling like this and all the pioneers start to get older and have children and families, piracy won’t occur to this extent.”

“The judgement has no meaning for file sharing. It has continued to increase from year to year and the technical capabilities continue to develop,” he told TT.
