RE: Major changes in copyright law since 1989

["Cate, Beth Ellen" <becate@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

IStayed tuned on the Grokster case...depending on how that comes out,
that could be a major change in the law regarding secondary liability.
It's being argued in March, with a decision expected in June or July.

Take care,

Beth
