[kictanet] Vimeo wins U.S. appeal in music copyright case

[Rosemary Koech-Kimwatu]

Thanks Mildred for sharing this, it makes perfect sense that the service
providers are not held liable for the actions of users, it is a step in the
right direction for courts to separate the users and service providers in
regards to copyright infringement. A ruling in the alternative would have
set a precedent that would create a severe blow to platforms which host
content posted by users as they would have to struggle with screening of
content.
