SUPREME COURT TO HEAR FILE SHARING CASE?

TechRepublic reports that RIAA and the MPAA (the Motion Picture Association of America) have jointly petitioned the Supreme Court asking that court of overturn a series of Court of Appeals decisions that have held that file-swapping software is legal.
"This is one of the most important copyright cases ever to reach this court",
the groups said in papers filed with the court.
"Resolution of the question presented here will largely determine the value, indeed the very significance, of copyright in the digital era".
The IPKat waits to see if the Supreme Court will decide to hear the appeal.

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
