Supreme Court Seems Skeptical About
Cable Claims In Brand X 03/30/2005 06:50 AM
While most of the Supreme Court attention yesterday went to the Grokster case, the Justices also heard the Brand X case, which was an appeal on a rulin g from a few years back, saying that the FCC was wrong in classifying cable broadband services as "information services" instead of "telecom services" -- and, thus, opening up the cable companies to forced line sharing rules. While it might not mean anything, the initial reports suggest that the Justices were skeptical of the cable companies claims, and seemed to wonder why cable broadband and telco broadband were being treated differently. Unfortunately, the case isn't quite as straightforward as it might appear. The reason the telcos have line sharing rules in the first place is because they came by their copper lines through the breakup of a government granted monopoly. These were systems built with government backing (though, as some have pointed out, the cost of those lines should be next to nothing by now). Most of the cable systems were built by private companies. That's a big distinction, and really is at the heart of this case. While both sides claim that competition will be stifled if the other side wins, that seems unlikely (either way). With the FCC leaning again st line sharing, even if cable offerings are classified as telecom services, they might not be required to share lines. However the court decides, though, it is likely to influence many other FCC rulings that impact a variety of different services, such as VoIP -- since it will set up the regulatory framework by which the FCC can rule across both cable and DSL. If both are aligned, it should also play into how they regulate wireless broadband technologies as well. In other words, the specific decision may not have a direct impact right away, but the eventual consequences may be far reaching.

US Supreme Court to consider major
copyright and technology case 12/17/2004 06:30 PM

The United States Supreme Court agreed to consider a high profile case involving the internet and copyright infringement. The question, which has been subject to numerous lower court rulings, concerns whether or not the creators of peer-to-peer software can be held liable for users' copyright infrigement. The companies cite the 1984 " Betamax case ," which immunized VCR makers from copyright charges. The intellectual property holder side of the case charges the software companies with knowing full well the uses to which their applications have been put.

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios v. Grokster Ltd involves a large group of players:

The large group of plaintiffs includes the Motion Picture Association of America, the Recording Industry Association of America, Warner Brothers Entertainment Inc. and a class of 27,000 music publishers and songwriters. The Supreme Court will hear the case in March and is expected to decide it by late June.
