Important Copyright Ruling: LimeWire Crushed in RIAA Infringement Lawsuit
Quote:
Lime Wire and its former CEO are liable for the copyright infringement executed by its users, a New York federal judge said on Tuesday.
The opinion is a blow to Lime Wire, one of the few remaining peer-to-peer file-sharing software developers that stayed in business following the Supreme Court ruling against Grokster in 2005.
In her decision, Judge Kimba Wood of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York said it was clear that Lime Wire intended to encourage copyright infringement. The company was aware of substantial infringement by users, it worked to attract infringing users, it depended on infringing users for the success of its business and it failed to mitigate infringement, she said?
