A Madrid court is expected to rule later this month in a ground-breaking prosecution of software designer Pablo Soto who is being sued for €13 million for enabling internet piracy with his hugely popular peer-to-peer filesharing programs, including Manolito P2P.A Swedish court gave prison sentences to four men behind the popular file-sharing site The Pirate Bay for helping millions of users download copyright protected material. The case has gone to appeal. Now the music industry is hoping the case against Soto will prompt a crackdown on illegal file-sharing in Spain which is ranked as one of the world’s worst internet piracy offenders.
