Judge: File-swapping tools are legal (News.com)
News.com reports on
the outcome of the suit against Streamcast and Grokster: not guilty.
"'Defendants distribute and support software, the users of which can
and do choose to employ it for both lawful and unlawful ends,' [Judge Stephen] Wilson wrote
in his opinion, released Friday. 'Grokster and StreamCast are not
significantly different from companies that sell home video recorders or
copy machines, both of which can be and are used to infringe copyrights.'"
