A federal district court judge for the Southern District of New York said Monday that a start-up music locker service isn’t liable for the infringing activities of its locker-service users as long as it followed procedures to mitigate infringement as outlined by a turn of the century digital copyright law.

The decision is a big win for tech companies like Apple, Google and Amazon.com, all of which are or will be offering cloud-based music services.
