Supreme Court to Hear File Sharing Case

The U.S. Supreme Court Thursday said it will hear oral arguments in a case that could determine the legality of file sharing networks on March 29. The case stems from a suit filed by the Motion Picture Association of America and Recording Industry Association of America against the Grokster and Morpheus Networks, which the groups lost in lower courts.

The case follows a similar case against Kazaa in Australia, where a decision is expected in March.
