I disagree.

I don't think it's true that nobody is trying to figure out how to get
money to artists, but that the RIAA and ilk are making it difficult to
find new solutions to that problem.  And I don't think it's true that
getting money to artists is a problem relevant to RIAA v. Grokster. 
What's relevant is what the government will recognize copyright
holders as being legally entitled to, and where that leaves everyone
else.

I agree, but I don't think the case is about sympathy for this
particular defendant.  Cases don't make it to the Supreme Court
because of the individuals involved, but because of all the other
people those individuals represent.
