ISP Suggests That Record Labels Can Sue Torrent Client Developers
ISP Grande says that it's not liable for pirating subscribers. Torrent client devs are more directly related to piracy, the ISP suggests.
A Texas federal jury found Grande guilty of willful contributory copyright infringement, and the ISP was ordered to pay$47 million in damages to the record labels. In its attempt to avoid liability, Grande explicitly points a finger at other parties in the BitTorrent ecosystem, while also highlighting that rightsholders have the option to sue pirates directly. The record labels previously argued that it’s important to hold ISPs liable because they are the only party that can match IP addresses to individual subscribers; Grande doesn’t deny that.
