Piracy
PROMUSICAE has monitored P2P networks gathering data about its users downloading music. In April 2005, PROMUSICAE claimed that they were monitoring the Kazaa P2P network and they had sent "messages" containing warnings and legal threats to more than 10,000 users. In early 2008, PROMUSICAE started a judicial process against Telefónica, the biggest Spanish Internet service provider, demanding that personal data of Kazaa users they monitored should be handed over to PROMUSICAE , so they can start suing them. The Promusicae v. Telefónica case continued until the European Court of Justice ruled that Telefónica did not have an obligation to hand user data over to PROMUSICAE.
