No Rock And Roll Fun

SETTLED: Stelios has come to an agreement with the BPI - you'll recall the Big Five record companies were demanding a million quid because Easy's internet cafes had allowed people to burn data to CD, thereby (obviously) depriving Dannii Minogue of the very bread from her table. Easy are paying GBP 80,000, plus the BPI's costs. What this reveals is that the BPI had spent GBP 130,000 on the case so far - an indication of how big a sledgehammer they're prepared to wield to impose their interpretation of copyright rules.
