Grokster-Morpheus P2P case back in court

article published on 2 February, 2004

One of the most important P2P cases returns to court on Tuesday. The lawyers for both the entertainment industry and the P2P operators Grokster and StreamCast Networks (Morpheus) will be making their case in the Court of Appeals in Pasadena, California. In April 2003, U.S. district court in Los Angeles ruled that Grokster and StreamCast Networks cannot be held liable for the copyright ... [ read the full article ]

Watch out for these Appeals Courts in California. They are extremely liberal in favor of the Music Industry. One good thing is that their adverse ruling usually gets overturned. These guys have a track record that is terrible.

Rodgers, question for you. Are you saying that democrats ("liberal") are politically backing the entertainment industry more so than republicans in California? Are we talking like say, Arnold Schwarzenegger? I'm not arguing your post. Just curious if I understand it correctly.

Answer for you GrayArea. Please reread my post and this time particularly notice I have not mentioned the Democrats. My discussion specifically has to do with the liberal judges in California that have a terrible track record and have been frequently over-ruled in their decisions. It might also be of interest to you to recognize that the great majority of registered voters in California just happen to be Democrats. The powers of the Music and Video world are located in California. Hope my additional comments clarifies my point.
Best to All!

Thanks Rodgers, I was curious about what you meant with regards to the "L" word. Don't know that I agree with the assertion that the movie and music industry's agenda of controlling the world is backed by or in line with liberal politics. Perhaps that's not exactly what you meant. Seems to me the current federal administration is ever so sympathetic to the big money media corporations, and I wouldn't exactly call them liberal. There's a track record that could use some scrutiny. Don't get me wrong; I'm not jumping to the defense of liberals. Always interesting to hear what other people's take on things is. Thanks for the clarifications.
