A US court has thrown out a US$4.1 billion lawsuit that was levelled against Skype.
File-swapping company Grokster has agreed to stop distributing its peer-to-peer software, following a US$50 million legal settlement announced Monday in the United States with Hollywood studios and record labels.
The ink on the Supreme Court's Grokster ruling was barely dry when Ed Black began lamenting the chill he believed the 9-0 decision would have on innovation.
The US Supreme Court's review of file-swapping -- and by extension, of the legal protections afforded to a host of mainstream technologies -- has drawn interest from all corners, and yesterday's decision won't stop the debate.
The US Supreme Court has handed movie studios and record labels a sweeping victory against file swapping, ruling that peer-to-peer companies such as Grokster could be held responsible for the copyright piracy on their networks.
M-Terra CTO Darrell Smith says that arguments in the peer-to-peer file-sharing space are still based on days gone by.
It took a boom and a bust to do it, but peer-to-peer technology is finding its post-Napster place in the world.
The popular P2P software company is letting loose Grokster Pro at a time when the recording industry is turning up the heat on individuals downloading music.
Despite the RIAA's efforts to shut down file-swapping services, these 10 apps carry Napster's torch.
File-swapping company StreamCast Networks has released a long-awaited new version of its Morpheus software, in a bid to recapture its once-unrivalled online popularity.
Morpheus once led the peer-to-peer file-sharing category, but after its split with sister app KaZaa, Morpheus can't find direction.
Computer and telecommunications companies are allying with file-swapping service Kazaa in a bid to overhaul the way record labels are paid for music and other content distributed on the Net.
