Intro - MGM vs Grokster
By brett
In 2005, I attended the MGM vs. Grokster supreme court decision. Hundreds of people protested outside the courthouse. The music industry told kids "music is like a donut - you buy it, then you get to eat it". The kids outside said "I don't think you can own music. Its just, like, words".
