BMG Canada Inc. and others v. Doe and others is an important Canadian copyright law, file-sharing, and privacy case, where an Ontario Court refused to allow the the Canadian Recording Industry Association and several major record labels from obtaining the subscriber information of internet service provider customers alleged to have been infringing copyright. Judgment was delivered in April 2004, in Toronto, Ontario.
The appeal court upheld the core finding of the previous case, that the identities should not be revealed to the plaintiffs, while lowering the test required in this kind of case and also saying that the lower court erred by ruling on whether the alleged filesharing was actually copyright infringement. Judgement was delivered 19 May 2005.
