Well personally, I think this is a good decision. Not because it makes file sharing software companies liable, but mainly because it may shut them down!

I own an software company that publishes software to restrict access to objectionable content on the Internet. The majority of our customers are parents and their kids all install file sharing programs. These companies make their money by secretly installing ad/spyware, and they could care less what problems they cause because they do not have to support their products. It costs us tens of thousands of $$ each month to support these users because of problems caused by the adware/spyware programs.

I realize this is not the purpose of the court decision, but I hope these file sharing companies get sued back to the stone age. Their irresponsible tactics cost consumers literally billions of dollars annually. As far as I am concerned, I don't care how they get nailed, as long as they do.
