Court Opinion: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc. v. Grokster, Ltd.

"0-9, but it looks like a win to me." - rattle

I read over the justices opinions this afternoon. This was a good ruling.

In short, the warez interface is illegal. If you pin one onto a file distribution protocol, you will be liable for contributory infringement. Everything important about the Sony Betamax case was upheld.

You can can't market your product as an infringement tool without being liable for third-party infringement using your tool. That's reasonable.
