Mike at techdirt (link here but see also here and this) reports that a Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) member sued a man, claiming he had shared a movie through a file sharing website and thus violated its copyright. The man fought the case, despite the potential cost far exceeding the amount sought for settlement. He owned the DVD of the movie and claimed he hadn't shared or downloaded it. In court the plaintiff so far hasn't been able to show it owns the copyright or that it isn't faulty. The case may be dismissed on a technicality but the basic question of fact seems to be whether the man had violated anybody's copyright. Case pending but what a waste.
