United States Supreme Court has agreed to review the decision by the Appeals Court of 9th Circuit which found P2P operators Grokster and Streamcast were not liable for the copyright infringements that take place in their P2P networks.
Movie and music industry associations complained about the decision to Supreme Court and now the court has granted a new trial for the case. Whatever the Supreme Court's decision is, it will be final, as in the U.S., Supreme Court's decisions can't be overturned and they act as ultimate guidelines for lower courts on how to implement the existing legislation.
The new case is expected to open in spring 2005 and the ruling is expected by July, 2005.
