Godwin on Grokster

By opening up the question of whether the designer or manufacturer or distributor of a new technology had the "intent" to "induce" infringement葉erms that are not yet fully defined in this context葉he Court made sure that company e-mails, advertising, and any other evidence may now be discovered in a trial proceeding, even if the technology itself has the potential substantial lawful use.
