Music label Ministry Of Sound, who had recently joined the self-destructive mass "pay up or we'll sue you for infringement" shakedown business, has apparently abandoned those plans. Why? Because UK ISP BT actually followed through with protecting its users' privacy in accordance with data retention rules, and destroyed its log files after 90 days. Ministry Of Sound is apparently "very disappointed" that BT actually protects the privacy of its customers.

Some of this, of course, was in response to the revelation that ACS:Law (who is not representing Ministry Of Sound) was not properly protecting user info. The case gets even stranger, since apparently Ministry Of Sound doesn't even hold the copyright to the music tracks it's complaining about, but merely to the track listings on the album. Of course, this move seems to have only made Ministry Of Sound and its lawyers, Gallant MacMillan, more determined to file future self-destructive lawsuits.
