Head over to Boing Boing to read the latest and greatest about the Supreme Court’s decision in the MGM v. Grokster case. The holding is short and sweet: "We hold that one who distributes a device with the object of promoting
its use to infringe copyright, as shown by clear expression or other
affirmative steps taken to foster infringement, is liable for the
resulting acts of infringement by third parties." You should also check out Cathy Kirkman’s post on the decision’s impact on the technology industry.
