Cashing In On Grokster's Footnote 12
A company that is trying to sell its watermarking technology as something that will provide evidence against active inducement.
Denise Howell has lots of anecdotal evidence about the use of P2P to download government docs in the couple of days since Grokster was decided (Noninfringing Torrents).
C.E. Petit on Scrivener's Error makes the case for his version of the winners and losers in Grokster: Grokster (3): Who Won?. He makes some good points but I'm not sure the "garage-mechanic-for-the-love-of-it" technologist who is a winner according to Petit is that big of a category. After all, once they invent something that is really an innovation they quickly try to move out of that category ... and shouldn't we encourage them to do so? The Grokster decision doesn't believe so, apparently.
