Late last year the UK Government legalized copying for private use, a practice which many citizens already believed to be legal.

But now several music industry organizations in the UK have won a judicial review which renders the government's decision to allow copying for personal use unlawful. According to the High Court, there's insufficient evidence to prove that the legislation doesn't hurt musicians and the industry at large.
