Breaking news

Breaking news

from the US Ninth Circuit: it affirmed a lower court’s ruling in favour of Grokster in MGM v Grokster. The EFF represented Streamcast (makers of Morpheus P2P software) and Fred von Lohmann has also an analysis of what the court found. “…perhaps most important, the Court observed that, in the long run, a competive, unfettered market for innovation ends up helping copyright owners (even if it doesn’t help today’s entertainment industry oligopolists).” Good stuff all around.
