Court: File-Sharing Services May Be Sued

• Court: File-Sharing Services May Be Sued
  Hollywood Can Sue Over Movie, Music Piracy
  

  "We hold that one who distributes a device with the object of promoting its use to infringe copyright, as shown by the clear expression or other affirmative steps taken to foster infringement, is liable for the resulting acts of infringement by third parties,"

  Justice David H. Souter in MGM vs. Grokster
  
  This is a stunning defeat for P2P.
  
  The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that Internet file-sharing services such as P2P networks can be held legally responsible if the use of their service promotes illegal sharing of software, music, and movies, rejecting warnings that the lawsuits will stunt growth of cool tech gadgets such as the next iPod.
  
  The unanimous decision remands the case to the lower court [so, it's NOT OVER yet], which had ruled in favor of P2P services Grokster Ltd. and StreamCast Networks Inc. on the grounds that the companies couldn't be sued. The Supreme Court has found that there may be enough evidence of unlawful intent for the case to go to trial.

    Today the Supreme Court issued a ruling that could impede makers of all kinds of technologies with expensive lawsuits. The long-awaited decision in MGM v. Grokster states that P2P software manufacturers can be held liable for the infringing activities of people who use their software. This decision relies on a new theory of copyright liability that measures whether manufacturers created their wares with the "intent" of inducing consumers to infringe. It means that inventors and entrepreneurs will not only bear the costs of bringing new products to market, but also the costs of lawsuits if consumers start using their products for illegal purposes.
    
    "Today the Supreme Court has unleashed a new era of legal uncertainty on America's innovators," said Fred von Lohmann, EFF's senior intellectual property attorney. "The newly announced inducement theory of copyright liability will fuel a new generation of entertainment industry lawsuits against technology companies. Perhaps more important, the threat of legal costs may lead technology companies to modify their products to please Hollywood instead of consumers."

  • Ex-CEO of the RIAA, Hilary Rosen
    
  • Notes on RIAA and MPAA conference
    
  • Musicians and songwriters
    
  • Supreme Torturer, i mean Attorney General Alberto Gonzales:
    "I am pleased that the Supreme Court has considered this important case and determined that those who intentionally induce or encourage the theft of copyrighted music, movies, software or other protected works may be held liable for their actions."
    
  • Sony BMG Executive Andrew Lack:
    "We will no longer have to compete with thieves in the night whose businesses are built on larceny."

    (A bright spot in footnote 12 from the Supreme Court: "in the absence of other evidence of intent, a court would be unable to find contributory infringement merely based on a failure to take affirmative steps to prevent infringement....")

  And that's no joke.
