New copyright law allows users to share "degraded" music for "scientific or educational use."

The Italian parliament recently passed a new copyright law that interestingly legalizes the file-sharing of MP3s. It allows individuals to publish and freely share "music at low resolution or degraded for scientific or educational use."

The kicker comes with the use of the word "degraded," for a majority of the music available on P2P and file-sharing networks is in the MP3 format. MP3 is a lossy music compression algorithm which means that all music made available in this format will fall under the category of "degraded."
