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.

Why the Supreme Court will hear Grokster

Why the Supreme Court will hear Grokster 08/22/2004 07:30 AM
Cory Doctorow: Over on Lessig's blog, Tim Wu has enumerated 10 reasons that the Supreme Court is likely to hear the Grokster case:

1. These is a stated legal conflict on the Sony standard as between the 7th and 9th Circuits;
2. The 7th and 9th Circuits disagree (albeit in partially in dicta) on the relevance of willful blindness to secondary liability;
4. The Court has these matters in hand: it has granted cert. in many similar cases historically (Sony, 1980s, White-Smith (the Piano Roll case) 1909, Teleprompter and Fortnightly (Cable / Broadcast, 1960s & 1970s);
5. The Court has a vague sense that some far-out stuff is going on in the field of “Computer Law” that maybe it should check out;
6. Law clerks use KaZaA & BitTorrent to plan basketball games;
7. Stevens and Breyer deeply dig this stuff;
8. Scalia likes anything having to do with property;
9. Souter got his first computer last week.

And most importantly,

10. The Court loves to be the center of attention, and this would make it so.

Cable Claims In Brand X

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.

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.
