Grokster File-Sharing Case Hits The
Supreme Court 03/31/2005 12:35 PM
The Supreme Court heard arguments Tuesday from representatives of major film studios and the recording industry who are seeking to shut down peer-to-peer services they say are costing them billions of dollars. One of the questions the court kept coming back to was this: What's more important — preventing potential copyright violations or allowing the market to come up with innovative new products?

The case began when MGM and several record labels filed suit against StreamCast Networks and file-sharing network Grokster, arguing that they were intentionally created to allow people to illegally trade copyrighted material. That case was thrown out by a circuit court in August, paving the way for it to be argued in front of the Supreme Court. "The scale of the whole thing is mind-boggling," argued recording industry lawyer Donald Verrilli. "They intentionally built a network of infringing users."

US Supreme Court to hear crucial digital
copyright case this week

US Supreme Court to hear crucial digital
copyright case this week 03/29/2005 02:30 AM

The Supreme Court of the United States is scheduled to hear arguments this week in a high profile digital copyright case. In MGM Studios v. Grokster a group of movie studios sued Grokster , a popular peer-to-peer file-trading program, arguing that the software enabled enormous infringements of the studios' intellectual property . Last year a federal circuit court ruled in favor of Grokster; the case has proceeded on appeal.

Supporters of Grokster, such as Electronic Frontier Foundation , argue that such file-sharing tools should be considered in the light of the 1984 "Betamax case" , where the Supreme Court ruled that users, not devices, should be held liable for copyright offenses. Other defenders, such as The Economist , believe that a ruling against Grokster could stifle innovation . Allies of MGM argue that file-sharing applications, unlike VCRs, are primarily about copyright infringement. Moreover, they argue that the owners and maintainers of such software are fully aware of that propensity for infringement.

The court's ruling could have enormous ramifications for the internet.

Appeals Court Rules For Grokster

Appeals Court Rules For Grokster 08/19/2004 02:20 PM
While Senator Hatch is trying to overturn the original decision that said file sharing programs weren't liable for copyright infringement that occurred on their networks, the Appeals Court has upheld the original ruling. The Reuters report only has two paragraphs now, but I'm assuming it will be expanded with details. Once again, it looks like the courts have been able to understand the difference between a person doing something illegal, and a company that provides a tool. This ruling isn't a huge surprise, of course. During the trial, the judges made it clear they weren't buying the entertainment industry's version of the story, when the judge told the RIAA lawyer: "Let me say what I think your problem is. You can use these harsh terms, but you are dealing with something new, and the question is, does the statutory monopoly that Congress has given you reach out to that something new. And that's a very debatable question. You don't solve it by calling it 'theft.' You have to show why this court should extend a statutory monopoly to cover the new thing. That's your problem. Address that if you would. And curtail the use of abusive language."

Federal Court to hear the Case of the
Dirty Bomber 11/19/2003 01:43 AM
It has been as many as 18 months since Jose Padilla was jailed on suspicion of trying to assist terrorists in a radiological bomb plot. The case of Jose Padilla is a unique test of new anti-terror legislation which gives expanded authority to the Justice Department to pursue terrorists. Unlike other US citizens held as "enemy combatants", Padilla was apprehended on US soil, but is being held without charges on a military base as an "enemy combatant", which means he may face a military tribunal. Today, the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments on a variety of issues specific to Padilla's case.
