"A federal judge in Los Angeles has handed a stunning court victory to file-swapping services Streamcast Networks and Grokster, dismissing much of the record industry and movie studios' lawsuit against the two companies."

That might actually be good news if not for the date of the article....

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

I'm presuming the update was not dated with the article.

That would be an inacurate presumption.

That is indeed the date of the article.

A simple Google search using the term....
"File-swapping tools are legal"

...turns up 9510 hits. After looking through 4 pages, I was unable to find one with a date newer than 5-03. There was 1 with that date, the rest were in April 03.

I recall this making the headlines then.
