After an unusual week of events in London’s High Court, the movie studios vs. Newzbin case has been adjourned for 2 weeks while the Usenet indexer hires more lawyers.
In 2008, Newzbin received complaints from the MPA who later in the year filed for an injunction against the site. (case background here)
The case began in London’s High Court last week and since then a chaotic view of the proceedings has been painted by Newzbin in a couple of daily updates.
Since then Newzbin claims that the MPA has tried to use these updates against them in court, but will continue to provide them anyway in order to keep their users updated.
There’s unlikely to be many more for a while though, since the case has been adjourned for 2 weeks. Newzbin asked for more time to go hire more lawyers, an application the MPA contested. In the end Newzbin prevailed.
The Usenet indexing company now says it expects closing submissions in early March 2010.
