The Totally Expected
We’re moving closer to a ruling on KaZaA’s technology, I presume, because Judge Wilson finally dismissed the antitrust and copyright misuse claims. KaZaA seems to have moved on to some extent, what with the Streamwaves deal. This article notes that, “The ruling won’t prevent Sharman from trying to prove later in the trial that the labels and studios colluded to block its partner Altnet from obtaining licences to their songs and movies. Sharman alleged that the labels and studios feared Altnet could compete with their own online efforts.”
From the Aimster front: As far as certainty, this could be extremely bad. (Has the Grokster decision been appealed yet?)
