TorrentFreak bericht: "A recent decision by a regional court in Germany took the unusual step of holding a domain registrar responsible for the infringing activities of one of its torrent site customers. In response to criticism from the registrar concerned, lawyers for Universal Music inform TorrentFreak that the court's decision not only made sense legally, but was also a decision borne out of common sense.
[...] The dispute dates back to last year when Universal Music discovered a torrent of Robin Thicke’s album ‘Blurred Lines’ being made available on popular torrent site H33T. After complaints failed to get the torrent removed, Universal took their case to court and eventually obtained a interim injunction against H33T’s German-based domain registrar, Key-Systems. In order to comply with the court order the company disabled H33T’s DNS entries, taking the entire site offline. A ruling published this week by the Regional Court of Saarbrücken clarified that considering infringement by H33T was “obvious”, Key-Systems could indeed be held liable for their customer’s infringing activities if they fail to take action after becoming aware of a problem."
