Grokster v. MGM: Impact on Technology, IP and Business Practice
|
Abstract: The US Supreme Court recently handed down its widely anticipated decision in MGM v. Grokster, involving the use of free software to share copyrighted forms of entertainment over the Internet. Although the case focused on file-sharing, it has the potential to expand secondary liability for infringement for a wide variety of technology companies and even their investors. Six of nine members of the Supreme Court also used Grokster as a vehicle for revisiting the landmark Sony-Betamax decision, which held that devices capable of substantial non-infringing uses would not be liable. On its own terms and in its potential impact on the Sony-Betamax decision, Grokster is a very important case for a wide range of technology businesses, including software and device makers, and those advising them. Led by some of the nation's foremost experts in this area of law, this program will examine the decision itself, the questions it leaves unanswered, particularly with respect to the Sony-Betamax doctrine, and the real-world implications for technology-based businesses and their investors.
