NewYorkCountryLawyer's Journal: Round 2 of MGM v. Grokster

Chalk up a knockdown for the content cartel. Streamcast (maker of Morpheus) has been held liable for copyright infringement in MGM v. Grokster, Round 2. The lower court has granted the content providers' motion for summary judgment as to liability. See September 27, 2006, Order and Decision, Granting Plaintiffs Summary Judgment as to Liability Against Streamcast(PDF file).This means that Streamcast is determined by the judge to be liable, and that the only thing left for him to decide is what remedies, such as damages or injunctions, are appropriate.
