Sought for MGM v. Grokster: Non-Infringing P2P Use

linuxizer writes "Since my last Slashdot entry, I've been discussing various copyright issues with the ever-interesting Peter Fader. Out of those conversations came sniu.info, an attempt to document the various forms of substantial, non-infringing use over peer-to-peer networks before MGM v Grokster goes to the Supreme Court. So far I have about 50 entries, but more suggestions would be much appreciated. Some fellow /. readers might also be interested in my fairly regular posts on copyright/IP issues, which are mostly links to interesting articles with occasional commentary."

My non-infringing use

I use the P2P network to get free copies of Brittany Spears' latest album. Since it is not spelled "Britney", it does not infringe, so back off, MGM!

I think there are some people who would love to sell you some v1agra, then.

Yes, it's a new exhibit at Madame Tussauds, showing pop nymphettes impaled upon a variety of medieval weaponry. Well worth a visit if you've ever fancied seeing Kylie being violated with a halberd.

Do you need a screenshot?

Some guy downloaded the GIMP from me over Gnutella a couple of weeks ago, but I'm afraid I don't have any proof.
