The Boston Globe: Judge won’t stop student from promoting illegal downloading
Four record labels that were awarded a total of $675,000 in damages after a Boston University graduate student illegally downloaded and shared music online have lost their bid to get a federal judge to order the student to stop promoting such activity.
US District Court Judge Nancy Gertner today granted the labels’ request that she order Joel Tenenbaum to destroy the 30 songs that a federal jury found he downloaded and to not commit further copyright infringement. But she rebuffed their request to bar him from encouraging others to break the law.
