From the "My Dad can beat up your Dad" Dept. The Supreme Court will review whether peer-to-peer providers are liable for illegal file sharing on their networks. Look, I believe artists are getting screwed by people stealing their music. I can't, however, imagine that the Supreme Court is going to rule that a technology is inherently illegal, especially when there's a fair bit of precedent regarding the legitimate utility of technologies that could be used for illegal purposes (see the VCR and audiotape for instance). Ultimately, the record industry needs to acknowledge that the game is over and that they need to examine these as promotional tools to grow awareness for a larger set of artists with smaller audiences for each.
