- pickdenis 6y agoI'm not convinced the courts will see much of a difference between "company (Grokster) that encourages easy p2p piracy through its software" and "company (GitHub) that publicly hosts software that promotes easy p2p piracy".
- greglindahl 6y agoThat's certainly possible. But it's important to note that it's not a direct precedent. You'd lose points in law school for that.
