Freedom of Winny creator

Japanese Supreme Court earlier this week acquitted the creator of the popular Winny file sharing program that are copyrighted. Isamu Kaneko 39, creator of P2P programs, said after the process is completed the trial proceeded with no problems with respect to his rights and that this decision will certainly have a good impact on software development. Winny, which Kaneko published on its Web site, allows users to perform file sharing, such as computer games and movies over the Internet without any compensation and thus became a cyber Kaneko icon in Japan.
