File For Grokster Case Reopening
posted by mpawlo on Wednesday August 20, @04:29PM
from the home-recording dept.
Copyright Yesterday the entertainment companies, including AOL Time Warner and Sony, filed court papers with the Ninth US Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco to re-examine the arguments against the P2P sites and to make them accountable for infringement. As previously reported by Greplaw, Judge Wilson wrote in his opinion, in the earlier ruling:

'Grokster and Streamcast are not significantly different from companies that sell home video recorders or copy machines, both of which can be and are used to infringe copyrights.'

Read Professor Lessig's comment on the ruling.

Also: Greplaw's eyewitness report from the hearing.

Also: Grokster and Streamcast/Morpheus--Betamaxed.
