The text of the Spanish government’s proposed legislation to tackle illegal downloads has been published for the first time, and includes an important clarification.

The Intellectual Property Commission, which will have the power to decide if a Web site is infringing the law, will not be able to launch proceedings against the sites. Only intellectual property rights holders will be able to initiate a complaint, and the Commission will only be able to act once it has been informed of the details of the alleged infringement.
