The RIAA scored a “big win” the other day in federal court with District Judge Kimba Wood ruling against Limewire and its creator, Mark Gorton, in the music industry’s quest to hold the file-sharing service and its creator liable for the copyright infringement of its users.The court found that both had committed copyright infringement, engaged in unfair competition, and induced others to commit copyright infringement, thus paving the way for potentially huge financial penalties.“This definitive ruling is an extraordinary victory for the entire creative community,” said RIAA Chairman & CEO Mitch Bainwol. “The court made clear that LimeWire was liable for inducing widespread copyright theft.”
