A German court has given six international publishing companies a significant victory in the publishers' attempt to combat digital piracy. In an order handed down February 10 and effective February 17 the Landgericht Regional Court of Hamburg, Germany ruled that the file Swiss-based sharing site Rapidshare must implement measures to prevent illegal file sharing of the 148 copyright-protected works that were cited in the lawsuit. The court ruled that Rapidshare, one of the largest filing share sites of printed works, must monitor its site to ensure that copyrighted material is not uploaded and prevent unauthorized access to the material. Failure to comply will result in substantial penalties.
