Another one bites the dust...


Grokster has become the latest casualty of the United States Supreme Court ruling that file sharing services can be held liable for actions of their users. The company reached a settlement with the recording and entertainment industries and shut down its P2P network on Monday.

A notice on the Grokster Web site describes its former service as "illegal," but promises that a legitimate P2P offering would launch soon. Grokster joins iMesh and other former piracy havens in an endeavor to turn legal and avoid prosecution. "There are legal services for downloading music and movies. This service is not one of them."

doesn't really matter they can't stop every single one, especially torrents which are untraceable

yah they have shut-down some torrent searches too, they can never stop any that started, but they can slow them down

oh well, i don't download any hip-pop music so i ain't really concerned
