Breaking with the trend of recent court rulings, the Federal District Court for the Central District of California denied motions by the music industry to grant summary judgment against Grokster and other P2P system--the court instead granted the motions made by Grokster, reasoning that Grokster is only providing software, not committing infringment. Among the findings of the court: Unlike Napster, Grokster is removed from the activities of the users; Grokster can be used for substantial non-infringing activities. Much to study.
