Another cash cow is left open for RIAA plucking :shock:
http://www.slyck.com/news.php?story=1300Justice Steven Wilson, who two years previously had ruled StreamCast was not liable for copyright infringement, issued a summary judgment which found StreamCast responsible for inducing copyright infringement on a massive scale. Justice Wilson had concluded that StreamCast had intentionally sought to infringe on the entertainment industry’s copyrights and profit handsomely.
In the summary judgment, Justice Wilson stated that StreamCast intentionally designed their program to replace Napster and inherit its massive userbase
and according to the summary judgment, StreamCast’s position on keeping the Morpheus experience as true to Napster as possible equals encouragement – which Justice Wilson ruled was inducing copyright infringement.
Here again we see another legal attack on a cash carrying p2p vendor, what will happen when the money laden network operators go under ?
Only time will tell ...
