Grokster's President Talks About Court Win

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the future-of-file-sharing dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Now that the Morpheus/Grokster trial is over, the heads of the various P2P services are hoisting their glasses in triumph. Ciarán Tannam interviews Grokster President Wayne Rosso to get his two cents on the verdict. Xolox also applauded the ruling and posted this release. Of course, it aint over yet as the RIAA has vowed appeal."

    When I saw "Vowed appeal" I was expecting to see "Vowed REVENGE!"

      I thought you said FEDster, not feedster. The only P2P service endorsed by John Ashcroft and the rest of the DOJ, CIA, FBI, etc.

    I can tell the RIAA is on the side of the little guy. They're going out there and suing the tar out of those evil P2P guys.

    'Cuz no little guy would ever use P2P to promote their art.

    Not me, not Anything Box, and certainly not any other artist truly making new and original art. See... without the RIAA, nothing would ever get created. This is the true artistic genius of the world: Hillary Rosen and her copyright-legislation-writing hands.

    The collective P2P community is letting out a silent, but very noticable "neer, neer!" to the RIAA.

    ...this could just be a dastardly plot to lure all of those P2P execs in one building...then BAM! 'Accident' involves gas leak mixed with suspicious DRM-compatible audio equipment.
