I know this is getting reported everywhere in the tech world, but I'm going to toss in my two cents as well...

Today, it's grokster. Tomorrow, it will be anyone who makes a device that can play standard mp3's. (Because the big studio-sactioned "legitimate" music stores only distribute online music in a "secure" format, so supporting mp3 and ogg can only mean you're enabling the "pirates.") With such precedent in place, the backbone of the Internet as we know it becomes the next battleground.

What doesn't the court apply this same idiotic logic to guns? Imagine Justice Souter's quote with the following substitutions: "One who distributes a device with the object of promoting its use to [kill people]... is liable for the resulting acts of [murder] by third parties using the device, regardless of the device's lawful uses."

The court was unanimous in its ruling. These are dark times.
