The Dutch Court of Utrecht ruled on Thursday (NZ time) that popular torrent-sharing site Mininova must remove all files from its servers that direct users to copyrighted works within three months. If Mininova fails to comply, it faces a fine of up to 5 million Euros.
The judge was due to deliver the verdict on 15 July, but postponed releasing the decision until this week because of the holidays, enabling Dutch schoolkids to enjoy one last summer of free and easy illegal downloading.
