Judge Wilson Finds Gary Fung's BitTorrent Sites Liable For Contributory Copyright Infringement

The copyright infringement claims brought against Canadian Gary Fung and his .torrent sites have at last been resolved. On December 21,2009, Judge Wilson of the Central District of California found Fung and several of his .torrent sites liable for inducement of copyright infringement. Wilson's decision was based largely the same grounds on which other operators of peer-to-peer filing sharing were found liable in Grokster, Napster and Usenet.
