At the other end of the internet freedom spectrum, i am appalled to learn that facebook has changed its terms of service and now claims ownership of all users' content FOREVER. That means even if you delete your entire account, facebook still gets to keep everything you've ever uploaded... unless your privacy settings kept it from public view. i'm a bit perplexed over what the point is of keeping your photos and writings private on a shared network site, but that's just little technoweenie Tycho talking, i'm sure the true facebook nerds understand this perfectly.The charges dropped are those which relate specifically to "assisting copyright infringement", with the case now confined to adjudicating on the question of whether those on trial were responsible for "assisting making available" copyrighted material. "Everything related to reproduction will be removed from the claim", confirmed Prosecutor Håkan Roswall.
"This is a sensation. It is very rare to win half the target in just one and a half days and it is clear that the prosecutor took strong note of what we said yesterday," Per E Samuelson, the defence lawyer, told file-sharing news website TorrentFreak.
