From what I read in the article, this is nothing but a gesture as the case is already moved its way through court. I think its really sad that P2P is under such attack because some misuse it but its what I have come to expect from hollywierd, this with things like the dcma, and the granting of trivial patents threaten to stop innovation and improvement of technology..

Thats what is ahead of us if Grokster loses. Thats what happens if the RIAA is able to convince the Supreme Court of the USA that rather than the truth, which is , Software doesnt steal content, people steal content, they convince them that if it can impact the music business, it should be outlawed because somehow it will. It doesnt matter that the RIAA has been wrong about innovations and the perceived threat to their industry, EVERY SINGLE TIME. It just matters that they can spend more then everyone else on lawyers. Amen, brutha. The RIAA and MPAA are out of control, software patents are out of control, and the public good--which is what patents and copyrights were created to enhance--suffers. Politicians like Orrin Hatch are bought out or mesmerized by FUD-spreading corporate spin doctors. Enough is enough.
