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 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.
Perhaps as soon as this week, the US Supreme Court will rule on the future of file swapping, in one of the most closely watched legal battles of the year.
It's the season for romance in the file-swapping world, too.
It took a boom and a bust to do it, but peer-to-peer technology is finding its post-Napster place in the world.

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.
