Hi, here is your weekly round-up of highlights from OUT-LAW News. As always, there are plenty of other stories from this week. You can also access our archive of weekly emails. Belgian ISP Scarlet should not have to filter copyright-infringing traffic from its service because to do so would invade users' privacy, an advisor to the EU's top court has said. Rulings by Community trade mark courts should in most cases apply across the EU and not just in the country in which they were made, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) has said. A Scottish appeal court has today ruled that an Act enabling pleural plaques victims in Scotland to claim compensation from negligent employers is neither unlawful nor irrational. The European Commission has still to prove why passenger's personal details should be recorded on all flights to and from Europe, the EU's data protection and privacy regulators have said. UPDATED: The Government needs more evidence on how much it will cost libraries to archive online content before putting regulations in place to ensure that they have access to the material, it has said. Internet search engines are not exempt from responsibility for the results they suggest to users, an Italian judge has ruled.
