Japan's file-swapping service gets blocked by court

11 April 2002 7:44 by Petteri "dRD" Pyyny

Japanese file-swapping service, File Rogue, got blocked by a Japanese court on Tuesday. Tokyo District Court said that the service is responsible for the files users swap through its service because company can administer the service on certain level.

Decision was a first one given in Japan that relates to P2P services. It is not known yet whether the company MMO Japan Ltd, who operates the service, will appeal the decision or not.
