Supreme Court Rules "Unanimously" Against Grokster 3-3-3

crossposted from blogologie

Well, this sure isn't going to help matters!

My initial reading of the three opinions in the Grokster case suggests that the justices' points of agreement are far more circumscribed than the 9-0 ruling suggests. Specifically, they agree that the case should head back to the 9th Circuit where summary judgment was improperly awarded to Grokster and Streamcast, and that the 9th Circuit must rule on whether Grokster and Streamcast are liable for inducing copyright infringement.After that, pretty much everything is up for grabs.
