A Grokster defendant, Streamcast, liable for contributory copyright infringement
The case of MGM v. Grokster continues while everyone has moved on. Streamcast, one of the defendants, in the action was found liable under copyright contributory infringement for the Morpheus software.
Judge Wilson in Los Angeles held “evidence of Streamcast’s unlawful intent is overwhelming” in the way that the Morpheus encouraged users to violate copyright law.
Two other defendants, Grokster and Kazaa, have already settled.
