It’s been on ongoing story and has produced the first ruling on file-sharing in the UK where Judge Birss said back in December 2010, ”The term used by those sections of the Act is ‘authorising’ and the difference may be very important if the allegation is about unauthorised use of an Internet router by third parties”.
