- Case Summary
The Mexican Supreme Court of Justice found an order against a music website, mandating it to suspend its services indefinitely, to be incompatible with the right to freedom of expression. A governmental agency made the order because the music website contained content that violated Mexico’s intellectual property laws. The website, represented by a communications provider, submitted a writ of amparo (a remedy for the protection of constitutional rights) arguing that the measure constituted a violation to its right to freedom of expression. The Supreme Court of Justice granted the writ of amparo, finding that measures which block entire access to a website constitute an overbroad and disproportionate restriction on the right to freedom of expression.
