Nintendo celebrated victory over French file-hosting service 1fichier.com this week. The French Supreme Court denied the filehoster’s appeal and upheld a piracy liability ruling in favor of the gaming company. The ruling confirms that hosting platforms can be held liable if they fail to remove pirated content when asked.
1fichier.com burst onto the scene around 2009 when file-hosting/sharing platforms were thriving.
In the years that followed, many competitors collapsed under the pressure of copyright complaints, but 1Fichier and French parent company DSTORAGE SAS stood tall.
