The Supreme Court handed down two horrible decisions today, the first effecting Grokster and other file-sharing companies now can be sued if their products are designed for copyright infringement and don't have safeguards to protect copyrighted material. And the second saying that cable companies own their lines effectively killing small ISP's and VoIP because the can change priority of any transmition into their network, killing competition.
A very bad day for innovation, the Internet and the Public.
