"Itâ's right that copyright holders should be afforded the protection of the court, they'(TM)ve just been going about it in entirely the wrong way," said David Cook, of Cartledge's legal firm Burrows Bussin, which last year defended a 17-year-old accused of illegally trading music files via OiNK — whose case was also dropped by prosecutors."
