Top WorldwideMedia Companies Get U.S. Supreme Court Hearing on File Sharing
Dec. 10 (Bloomberg) -- The motion picture and recording industries will get a U.S. Supreme Court hearing in their bid to block the ``catastrophic, multibillion-dollar harm'' they say is caused by file-sharing software used to pirate movies and songs. The justices today agreed to hear an appeal by Time Warner Inc., Walt Disney Co. and other media companies of a federal appeals court ruling that threw out a copyright suit against two distributors of file-sharing software, StreamCast Networks Inc. and Grokster Ltd.
