The Supreme Court ruled against File Sharing site Grok Ster.

Cory Doctorow commentary - The second you show a hint of "inducement," you open your company up to having a court pick over the bones of every e-mail from every engineer, every call and every MsPowerpoint presentation, looking for evidence of Thought Crime: Have you had a Subversive thought while designing this?...

The same day they made the Brand X ruling.

Sept21 update: Win M X closed down.

Jan3'2005 update: other sites are getting nervous.
