And in the Other Corner...

Ernie Miller provides notes from the MPAA/RIAA press conference on the Grokster ruling: "What the court is doing is setting a commonsense standard. If you're Apple, you're fine. If you're Grokster and StreamCast, it is clear from any number of things that they are inducing, you're not going to be fine. We don't think it will be difficult to determine what is an illegitimate or legitimate business."

Hmm. Why is "Apple fine"?
Isn't Apple's commercials encouranging users to "Rip, Mix, Burn" exactly the "encouraging copyright infringement" that Grokster is being accused of?
And does anyone really believe that a 60Gig iPod is being used to hold only legally purchased iTunes Music Store tracks?
Or is it that Grokster is a small company and Apple is a big one?
