   Decentralized File-sharing Tools Ruled Legal
   By Mike Darrah
   
   Streamcast and Grokster have won a major court decision in Los Angeles, s***ing the tides of the on-line P2P legal war. Federal court Judge Stephen Wilson has dismissed much of the studios' claims in their lawsuits against them, stating that Morpheus and Grokster were not liable for copyright infringements that took place using their software.
   
   The ruling stated loud and clear that innovating decentralized peer-to-peer Gnutella-like software is perfectly legal, and shouldn't be deemed illegal in the courts. The courts compared the technology with the innovation of the original Sony videocasette recorder (VCR).
   
   Fred von Lohmann of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) stated the case is far from over, but that the case sends a "strong message to the technology community that the court understands the risk to innovation" the case could represent.
   
   The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) offered no comment, but are of course issuing an appeal to the ruling already.

   (Oct 4, 2005 - 8:32 AM)

   Opps I was in Winmx, then I saw MSN IM attacks, and clicked on the link to read about that news, and jumped here, I thought when you post a comment It was one board, all about winmx :S I am new in Betanews, I think that when we use winmx, msn IM to download its free, nomatter where you live. But if someone don't start doing something now, the courts will make it totally Illegal to download anything, other then HTML files ASP JPG ect. even if I convert my songs then it will really look like trash letters in the file, so how can they touch us when they can't prove it lol. One day I went to my radio station online to listen to whats playing, they took it off the interent because of what was happening to Napster, they resumed live Internet at my favorite Radio station. So they issue is effecting how we do internet these days, I just wish we could all stand strong and win the battle, before we can't even do Private P2P file trasfereing yahoo msn, or just a program you made using Visual Basic, I programmed in Visual Basic 6 many P2P file Transfer back then.
   BUt if I ever started again I would Convert my MP3 and even the Filename so I don't get in trouble for Sharing!. Hope to see both sides Solve there problems

   Sad to know Winmx is gone!, but why don't programmers create a mp3's converter, made to look like a Data File, not the mp3 or wav?~then it should be legel LOL.
   If it looks like a data file, what can they do to you, I know they can't stop us from downloading files NOW, the heck with them, the RIAA don't own the interent, nor does the government the users the world, its free, this mp3 converted to a data; Now when its sent through your modem, via your ISP, it will have to be converted on the other end - with the same program -convert to mp3, who's to be the wiser
   , oops of course this stuff must be underground software. Like those those underground
   Drug clubs. ANyway, I heard that the same company, RIAA? can get a copy of Files ever downloaded from you download from your ISP, and who did it; then convict you if you download/uploaded anything like mp3, mpegs ect....
   
   Hope bothside comes to a good outcome!
