Copyright After MGM v. Grokster: Understanding The Supreme Court's Decision And
Its Impact On Law And Business
When should the distributor of a multi-purpose tool be held liable for the infringements that may be enumerated by end-users of the tools? That is the question the U.S. Supreme Court is facing in what is expected to be a landmark ruling in June 2005 in MGM v. Grokster. Plan to join us now for a special one-day briefing on the ruling and what it means for copyright law as well as business in the future. In the case, in which 28 of the world's largest entertainment companies brought a lawsuit against the makers peer-to-peer software makers Morpheus, Grokster and KaZaA, the Supreme Court must determine the border between copyright and innovation. Plan to join us for this special briefing by leading outside counsel, inhouse counsel drawn from the entertainment industry, association representatives, government officials and plaintiff's counsel for an indepth examination of the decision, its impact of business and well as customers, and strategies for going forward.
