Music Copywright Canada

OTTAWA (Reuters) - People who swap songs on the Internet in Canada can remain anonymous after a Canadian court decision Wednesday.

The Federal Court of Canada rejected a request from the country's biggest music producers that it order Internet service providers to identify music swappers.

It was a setback for the music companies, which had targeted 29 large-volume song swappers in a test case to try to stem the downloading of music, which deprives them of revenue.
