Some BitTorrent Search Engines Violate US Copyright Law December 28, 2009
This is going to get more coverage. Trust us. But the short of it is that ISOHunt was found to induce infringement of copyright. This is essentially the same outcome of the Grokster case. While Grokster didn’t host any of the infringing files, they brought people on to the service with the promise that it was a replacement to Napster. Grokster encourage (induced) people to infringe copyright, and therefore they can he held liable for it.
Again, more to come.
