Grokster Decision Won't Stop RIAA, MPAA Suits

akahige writes "According to this Reuters article, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that the operators of Grokster and StreamCast are not liable for copyright infringement. On the other hand the *AA is appealing the decision to the Supreme Court, and has no intention of ceasing litigation against these or other P2P services. Next up, eDonkey. If ever there was a case where voting with your dollar made sense it was this one -- but too many people just can't get enough of Britney." We mentioned the court's decision a few days ago; this article stresses that the industry is gung ho to overturn it, and that this decision covers only part of the case.

Ugh, the horrible typos on the title line of my other post are just horrendous. I really wish I could edit it, this is what happens when you use a slow laptop that can't keep up with your typing speed and it's 1:00 AM.
