EFF Wins Grokster Case
As Cory Doctorow reports on Boing Boing, the EFF has won its Grokster case in the US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.
[T]his is the case that establishes that if you make truly decentralized P2P software -- like Gnutella -- you can't be held liable for any copyright infringement that takes place on their networks. This is the "Betamax principle," from the famous Supreme Court case that established that Sony wasn't responsoble for any infringement that its customers undertook with their VCRs.
The full decision is available for download in PDF format (128k link).
