The major part of the ruling was that royalties can only be collected once.
Before Ruling:
When you buy a song from iTunes a copyright/royalty payment is included in the
purchase price. Then when you downloaded the already payed for song to you
computer from the iTunes store you payed another copyright/royalty fee to your
ISP because the song was carried by the internet from the iTunes store to your
computer.
After Ruling:
When you buy a song from iTunes a copyright/royalty payment is included in the
purchase price. You do not have to pay the royalty/copyright fee again because
you download the music from the iTunes store over the Internet to your
computer.
----
Ditto for computer games bought online royalties for music in the game are
included in the price you do not have to pay again just because if arrived at
you computer via the Internet.
Also they wanted theaters to pay royalties for the music in movies for which
royalties had already be paid by the movie makers.
