More MGM v. Grokster.

Oh good. I had been told earlier today that the Court overturned Sony. This appears, after reading more of the case, to be false. Rather, the Court distinguished Sony by pointing out that while Sony was aware people were copying, they weren't actually marketing the Betamax as a copyright infringing device. In contrast to the actions of Grokster and StreamCast (Morpheus). Comforting result, really. Or at least not as discomforting as I had feared.

What this case really demonstrates is that copyright law in this country is fucked, and needs fixing post haste. But will those clowns in Congress figure this out? No. What a bunch of clowns.
