Time to call your lawyer, I think - he doesn't have the Grokster test quite right. Especially after the trial reconsideration. And of course I have checked YouTube lately - loads of the top videos are infringing (I think the Forrester and IDC guys can be expected to at least get that right) - it varies a lot, but it's been about 50% of the top viewed on the occasions I've checked recently. Not scientific, of course. Thanks, Fred. Time to call your lawyer, I think - he doesn’t have the Grokster test quite right. Especially after the trial reconsideration.
