MPAA Sues BitTorrent

So they will no doubt attempt to file charges but can they make it stick??Trade org is expected to announce today that it's working with law enforcement authorities in the U.S. and Europe to arrest individuals and groups who run indexing servers for eDonkey and BitTorrent.
Move comes several days after the MPAA and RIAARIAA won the right to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court a lower court decision legalizing decentralized P2P networks (Daily Variety, Dec. 13). But while P2P networks themselves are still legal despite industry efforts to shut them down, indexing servers that help users locate and download pirated content are not.
"If it can be demonstrated they lent substantial assistance to copyright infringement and had knowledge of what they were doing, it's a strong case that fits in line with Napster."
