The Grokster decision -Stop Press

The US Supreme Court has provided its long awaited decision in MGM v Grokster. According to Bloomberg (the decision is not yet on the Supreme Court website), the court has held that providers of filesharing software could be liable for infringing downloading of material using that software.


More comment (holidays permitting!) once full decision is available - it will be particiularly interesting to see how much of the decision is based on the facts of this case or on legal analysis.
