Abstract
SABAM v. Scarlett is a June 29, 2007 decision from a Belgian trial court ordering an ISP in that country to install filtering software to prevent the ISP's users from accessing unauthorized music downloads via peer-to-peer systems. The court made this order following an expert report on the feasibility of such filtering. The decision has generated a fair amount of controversy and this translation is intended to provide intellectual property teachers and practitioners with a citable, English source for the opinion.
