More from Wired on the Fallout from Grokster

Filed under: Technology — thomas.69 @ 1:49 am

Wired News has two interesting articles on the Grokster decision.

The first is an editorial discussing how the Supreme Court decision merely delays the move away from the current business model the entertainment industry uses. I tend to agree with this viewpoint.

The second explores how the Grokster decision adds ambiguity to the use of podcasts by iTunes. The Grokster decision seems to have muddled things in its attempt to protect copyright.

My fear? Even more time wasted by Extension professionals making sure that all material used in podcasts, etc. is completely, absolutely, without a doubt legal. More lawyers adding more steps at the same time we are asking our professionals to be more entrepreneurial.
