"The U.S. Supreme Court released a unanimous decision today (June 27) in the MGM Studios vs. Grokster case in favor of the entertainment industry, reversing the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals opinion.
The court held that developers of software violate federal copyright law when they provide computer users with the means to share unauthorized movie and music files from the Internet."
