The European Court of Justice gave a victory to the copyright industry by equating torrent trackers with actual redistribution of copies.

The result might be to enforce blocking of torrent sites. That would be very unfortunate for people in Europe.

Aside from sharing copies between people, the only form of distribution of movies today that is not oppressive is by sale or rental of DVDs. That is just barely not oppressive, because there is free software that can play a DVD.
