Top ten legal battles - Suing the filesharers

Feb 24, 2020, 07:00 AM

It’s the sixth in our series of special editions of Setlist looking at some of our favourite music industry legal battles of all time. CMU’s Andy Malt and Chris Cooke discuss the period in music history where the major labels attempted to curb illegal file-sharing by suing individual music fans. We look in particular at the cases of Jammie Thomas and Joel Tenenbaum who carried on fighting back long after anti-piracy tactics had moved on. Setlist is sponsored by 7digital.
