Chris Anderson, editor of Wired and creator of the tech phrase du jour (Long Tail), has an op-ed in the entertainment industry home town paper today. The LA Times piece concludes...
"The main flaw in the case against Grokster is that the action attempts to criminalize a technology rather than a specific use. It also fails to distinguish between commercial content and noncommercial content. Restricting these powerful new distribution tools to fight piracy would hobble the new emerging creative class too. The potential collateral damage to legitimate users is much higher than in the Betamax case.
"The Supreme Court should recognize that there is a silent majority in this case, made up not of pirates or the pop stars but the millions of individual talents who risk
getting caught in the crossfire."
The Washington Post, says that the court needs to protect innovation from collateral damage caused by too broad of a ruling, but hammers home the point that, well actually, Grokster and its peers, are, as they say, bad actors that need to be punished...
...This caution is a fair one, and it is critical that the court not adopt a broad rule that threatens liability for manufacturers of technologies whose misuse might enable piracy. But Grokster and StreamCast are not simply technologies that can be used for good or ill; they are technologies that were designed and marketed precisely so as to facilitate theft. Both companies positioned themselves to inherit Napster's user base when the courts ordered that company to stop permitting illegal file-sharing. Both have promoted themselves based on the wide variety of materials illegally available. And both have frustrated copyright holders' efforts to police their use. A company that builds its entire business model around facilitating illegality should not be immune from liability because of the possibility of innocent use. Drawing a clear distinction between such a product and an iPod would protect both innovation and intellectual property.
The slippery slope of punitive action down the long tail is the big question mark. How do you punish "technologies"? On the other hand, should the tech industry, at large, be symbolically embracing Grokster (the company, not the legal ethos) and StreamCast to make a bigger point?
