This case reminds me far too much of the Trial of Hank Rearden...

Prof. Lessig, thanks for linking to the Grokster briefs torrent and my site (I'm taking a screenshot, which I will attempt to use for extra credit when I take "Computers and the Law" next year). Since Saturday, over 170 people have downloaded the Grokster briefs, which adds up to over 378,387 pages of court documents downloaded over the weekend (yes, I counted them).

Here are two new torrents related to Grokster:

Tried it and it's not quite up to speed yet. Dropped a line to the Google folks with a url for it... Maybe they could do it better? It would be nice to get several search companies n on this type of search.

Another interesting application of legal P2P via BitTorrent is http://www.legaltorrents.com/. Legal Torrents is geared towards media (music/books/movies) but provides some interesting collateral for claims made by various industry associations that P2P is solely the breeding grounds of pirated property.
