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. > Somebody who was actually trying to do that would make a lot > more sympathetic defendant who could actually cry "Foul!" for >having been hauled into court. 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. -todd -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
