| Re: Thats stupid.. This is a horrible slippery slope. It is going to be open-season on P2P software developers. First they will sue and take down the big ones, then they will threaten and run out the smaller time non-commercial players.
Eventually all P2P software will be outside the US and other countries where the MPAA/RIAA have a reach.
Finally, they will use this as an imeptus to finally push through their lobbying efforts, and get some real draconian legislation passed in order to fully control file-sharing and distribution on the internet for US citizens.
I would hope for a win in a court case myself. It is not clear to me a jury would find the defendants guilty of infringement. But regardless this has opened the door wide for the MPAA and RIAA to go after software developers of all sorts. |
