The Supreme Court has ruled that makers of software that can be used for the sharing and/or distribution of copyrighted software can be sued by content providers.

Washington (Houston) we have a problem.

The big issue for me are the constraints (or lack thereof) on what is considered "software that can be used to copy copyrighted material". I wonder if anyone has wondered if we could consider Windows, Unix or Linux, with their capabilities of copying software as platform for copying? The operating system alone has the capability to do this natively.

I think that the issues with services or software used to distribute files should be handled on a case by case basis. I doubt if the people making the laws are as techno-savvy as the people making the software or the people using it.
