Another P2P file sharing network gets nailed, as Grokster has announced on their website that they are closing doors. Therefore they are following the faith of Napster, iMesh and others. Not surprisingly Grokster also tries to utilize their goodwill value (is there any left?) in the legal P2P world.
The United States Supreme Court unanimously confirmed that using this service to trade copyrighted material is illegal. Copying copyrighted motion picture and music files using unauthorized peer-to-peer services is illegal and is prosecuted by copyright owners.
There are legal services for downloading music and movies. This service is not one of them.
Grokster hopes to have a safe and legal service available soon.
