The New York Times on Grokster and the Information Exchange
August 30, 2004 at 19:43 | Tags: IP, English |Again via Boing Boing, I found this interesting New York Times editorial (Bugmenot required) about the Grokster case and its implications.
This decision [MGM v. Grokster] does not make illegal file-sharing legal. But it implicitly raises a question central to most copyright battles. Is society better served by restricting or even prohibiting new technologies to protect the rights of copyright owners or is there a greater good in the widest possible exchange of information? The resolution lies somewhere in the middle. Finding it, as the court acknowledges, is properly left to Congress.
