Grokster scorecard: what theories of liability do the amici endorse?
Jonathan Band, a copyfightin' lawyer from Morrison & Foerster, has created a great roundup of the amicus briefs in Grokster, the Supreme Court case where EFF will argue the right of P2P developers to make tools without having to anticipate and prevent copyright infringement in their designs.
