a court in Quebec has sided with trade group complainants representing the Canadian music and media industries and ordered the immediate closure of music and media file-sharing torrents on Web site QuebecTorrent.com, reports Mediacaster.
Following the Quebec Superior Court’s ruling, non-profit music and television industry organisations ADISQ and APFTQ were granted an order of permanent injunction against QuebecTorrent, effectively forcing the online service’s full operational closure.
According to the accusations put forward by ADISQ and AFPTQ, QuebecTorrent was knowingly allowing its service users to illegally share copyrighted music, television shows and movies made by legitimate media producers based in Quebec and also across Canada.
