Planned legislation against people downloading music and movies for personal use has been removed from the new media law passed on Monday, Index.hu reports, via state news wire MTI.
The proposed changes were scrapped as part of an all-party reworking of the controversial law, which earlier was expected to see a major clampdown on illegal file-sharing.
The All Hungary Media Group is firmly committed to freedom of expression and therefore applies a mostly "hands off" approach to comment moderation. Comments left by readers represent their own views and do not necessarily reflect the opinions or beliefs of the staff, editors or owner of the All Hungary Media Group, who nonetheless reserve the right to remove comments that are off-topic or which moderators consider to constitute "hate speech." Also note that in order to prevent spam we generally close entries off to comments several days after publication.
