The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found Grokster Ltd and StreamCast Networks not legally liable for user file sharing, distinguishing them from Napster's centralized servers. Judge Sidney R. Thomas noted the software’s design and alternative uses lessen central responsibility for shared files. The ruling upheld a lower court decision that dismissed most of the suit.
