Anyone care to clarify (or write up a separate article on Inducement (law) differentiating, specifically, inducement (as used consistently with reference to copyright infringement) and incitement (as seemingly used in the same context elsewhere)? When the Grokster Ruling was new, I recall an analysis (likely, unqualified) likening the "test of intent" more closely to solicitation. What's the difference, legally? 71.246.25.218 07:31, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

It may be nitpicky, but the majority of the court (6 Justices) were quite willing to discuss the Betamax decision and how it related to this case. The opinion of the court could not be reconciled with one of the two contending sides of the debate- I am unsure how to phrase that for the article, but it seems "The Court majority has apparently refused to reexamine the Betamax precedent in the decision, bringing it only as necessary to properly detail the issues involved in this case." (emphasis mine) is an innaccurate statement.
This would be a good case to feature detailed opinions (i.e., like in Stromberg v. California and Olmstead v. United States). I was planning on writing up all three concurrences (i.e., just summarizing them in plain succinct language), but I would be happy to either yield them to others or to collaborate with people on them. Any takers?
Rather than delete this good-faith edit outright, I've tagged the first part of this sentence dubious, since it appears unverifiable (especially given the vague "many", and the lack of actual data on the subject). The second part (LimeWire being BitTorrent compatible) is probably verifiable, but would benefit from a cited source. The synthesis of the two may be original WP:SYNTH.

I propose that the sentence about LimeWire be taken out entirely, since LimeWire is still very much alive and marketed. Just visit www.limewire.com, and read the About the Company section, or read the blog. They have just made it very clear that they do not intend to allow users to use LimeWire illegally. The software is open source and is widely available.

Why is the section "Effects of the decision" tagged with {{ update}}? May other Wikipedians explain why?-- RekishiEJ ( talk) 10:16, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
The paragraphs attempting to differentiate the opinions on the basis of the Betamax case currently make no sense. This paragraph does nothing to show any substantial difference between the Ginsburg and Breyer opinions.
On the one hand, Justice Ginsburg, joined by Kennedy and Rehnquist, claim that "[t]his case differs markedly from Sony" based on insufficient evidence of noninfringing uses. On the other hand, Justice Breyer, joined by Stevens and O'Connor, claims "a strong demonstrated need for modifying Sony (or for interpreting Sony's standard more strictly) has not yet been shown," primarily because "the nature of [...] lawfully swapped files is such that it is reasonable to infer quantities of current lawful use roughly approximate to those at issue inSony."
