File-Sharing Cheat Sheet
The peer-to-peer file-sharing business faces an interesting inquisition today as the U.S. Supreme Court will hear the entertainment industry's beefs with two file-sharing companies, Grokster and StreamCast Networks.
If you need to come up to speed on the relevant issues, we recommend The Economist's helpful summation. As the article points out: "Even if the entertainment business manages to coax more users into paying for legal downloads and succeeds in court against Grokster and StreamCast, its problems are unlikely to go away... And perhaps the decline in global [music] sales is indicative of a far greater problem for the music industry -- consumers simply think that many of its products are just not worth paying for."
Ouch.

Edmonton dominated the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday night and the 4-0 margin in Game 6 makes it hard to imagine the Oilers not hoisting hockey's Holy Grail above their heads in less than 48 hours. And it would not come as any shock to see defenseman Chris Pronger, who had another 31-minute night, take the honors for the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoff MVP.
