It looks as though Grokster has shut up shop, at least as far as further facilitating free file sharing is concerned. Presumably they have come to some arrangement with the entertainment industry to end the ongoing litigation over damages following their loss in the Supreme Court. The site reads:
"The United States Supreme Court unanimously confirmed
that using this service to trade copyrighted material is illegal.
Copying copyrighted motion picture and music files
using unauthorized peer-to-peer services is illegal and is
prosecuted by copyright owners.
There are legal services for downloading music and movies.
This service is not one of them.
Grokster hopes to have a safe and legal service available soon.
If you are interested in that service, go to www.grokster3g.com, or send an email to:
info@grokster3g.com
to be included in the beta for the next generation."
