Digital Act court challenge fails

A legal challenge to the Digital Economy Act has failed get the controversial legislation overturned.

The judicial review, requested by BT and Talk Talk, rejected claims that Parliament had overstepped it powers with anti-piracy measures.

The ruling pleased groups representing copyright holders who said it would help reduce illegal file sharing.
