Turning away from the immediate legal implications for a moment, the Supreme Court’s ruling holding Grokster liable for the actions of its customers may hurt the very industry that is celebrating victory. “By helping maintain the status quo, the ruling could further delay the death of the old way of doing things and postpone the birth of new strategies that successfully build on unstoppable peer-to-peer technologies… It’s time for the entertainment industry to accept the inevitable and stop trying to use the courts to put a leash on unpredictable new technologies. In the end, the business model in the entertainment industry is going to change, and these companies can either find a way to insert themselves into the new order, or risk finding themselves frozen out forever.”
