No news is good new. This is bad news. Trust me. It may look positive at first sight but in reality its a red herring. Over and over again, its exactly the same as First they came after the [...] in the end nobody was left to protest when they came after me. There are all kinds of exceptions. The term commercial-scale or better gewerbsmдЯig is horribly abused here which is just as disgusting as using intellectual and property in the same sentence. A layman would think and has all reason to that non-commercial file-sharing that is no money and no ad revenue involved would never qualify in the first place. Some politicans already claimed that sharing or downloading a WHOLE album would qualify as commercial-scale.

If its all about numbers than sharing hundred thousands of files in the public domain or otherwise legal to distribute would most definitely qualify as commercial-scale too. Another examples: Isnt open-source software such as Linux used and distributed commercially? Therefore commercial-scale is complete utter bullcrap. It just shows how clueless jurists are, how outdated and rotten laws are. If you rely on jurists to solve your real-world problems, good luck! Youll need it but no amount will help.

Jurists are inherently incapable of applying common-sense or logic. They are extremely money and power greedy. So they redefine commonly (mis)understood terms to fit their own needs all the time. Really, this time they are just too damn lazy to go after everyone.

Non-commercial file-sharing must be free and legal. Dont accept anything less!
