High Court Rules With RIAA in File-Sharing Case





With this new ruling, no one may want to create a new file sharing tool in the US, but it is hard to 1) stop foreign entities developing similar tools, and 2) enforcing it in the US as current tools do not require a central server to run.

From Wall Street Journal:

The U.S. Supreme Court sided with the entertainment industry's lawsuit against Internet file-sharing companies Grokster Ltd. and StreamCast Networks Inc., in a decision that has broad implications for Hollywood and Silicon Valley.

The unanimous decision reverses two lower-courts rulings and is a key victory for the recording industry and movie studios, who have waged a legal assault to crackdown on illegal sharing of music and videos over the Internet.
