Apparently, the Supreme Court has sided with MGM against Grokster. The key part of the ruling, which I hope comes through in other court rulings, is that Grokster was promoted as being used for copyright infringment. This means that devices promoted soley for thier legal uses should be exempt from this ruling. We’ll see if this is the end of digital recording divices as we know them, or if it ends up meaning nothing. I suspect the little guys will vanish, as they get sued into oblivion, and the big guys will ignore it.

Score one of big business against the little people.
