Hearing today on Kazaa suit
Today U.S. District Court Judge Stephen Wilson will hear summary judgement oral arguements in the case brought by the RIAA against Streamcast, which includes Kazaa, Morpheus and Grokster. He will decide whether or not Streamcast networks can be held liable in the U.S. for making filesharing programs available in California.
A federal court on Monday will hear arguments that could derail Hollywood and record labels' lawsuit against popular file-swapping companies--or result in an order to shut them down. The hearing could be the most critical legal skirmish since the closure of Napster, focusing on the Morpheus and Grokster file-swapping networks, and potentially affecting the more popular Kazaa network as well. |
Jurisdiction of the U.S. copyright laws may be extended to include the entire world today, at least in theory. You can see more on this article News.com, or you can discuss this topic in the CD Freaks Living Room.
