How cool are Librarians?

Declan McCullagh: Librarians ask 9th Circuit to uphold the April decision by a Los Angeles judge that dismissed much of the entertainment industry's suit against the two peer-to-peer companies: Librarians to P2P critics: Shhh!

A central argument of the brief is that the district court got it right when applying a 1984 Supreme Court decision to the Internet. That decision, Sony v. Universal City, said Sony could continue to manufacture its Betamax VCR because a company "cannot be a contributory (copyright) infringer if, as is true in this case, it has had no direct involvement with any infringing activity."

I really think that lots of people, like John Schwartz, just don't get it yet. P2P advoctes are not pro-piracy or saying the internet wants to be free. We're saying file sharing is legal.
