 Oh the delicious Irony!

Grokster decision in .torrentCory Doctorow: Here’s a link to a BitTorrent distribution of the decisions in Grokster, today’s Supreme Court decision that established a new copyright thoughtcrime: "inducing" your users to infringe by failing to employ restrictions that you believe will reduce copyright infringement. BitTorrent is a P2P software application that was not designed to reduce infringement. Many BitTorrent users use it to pass around infringing copies of movies and music. Many also use it to distribute Supreme Court decisions. Torrent Link (Thanks, Thad!)
