Music industry back in court to fight pirates CTV - Canada's record labels aren't giving up the fight to find out the identities of 29 people suspected of sharing music files. On Wednesday, the Canadian Recording Industry Association began an appeal hoping to overturn an earlier decision denying them the information. If the identities of the 29 suspects are revealed, Canada's recording industry could sue them to recoup money lost to free peer-to-peer downloading networks like Kazaa or LimeWire. But the three judges hearing the panel want the CRIA to prove the lower court judge made a mistake in interpreting Canada's copyright laws. 12:59:13 PM
