File-Sharing Sites Found Not Liable for Infringement
You folks probably read about this. It is an interesting and good ruling. Though, my colleague made an interesting remark (I thought). He said, how come we expect the creators of the tools - in this case, Grokster, Morpheus, etc. - to be not liable for the crimes committed (illegal file swapping), while in the case of gun manufacturers we expect the manufacturers to be liable. Is it the nature of the crime? Or, is it because we think the RIAA has been committing the crime for so long? posted by Farookh at 11:59 AM Comment (0)
