Grokster is a P2P client that was quite popular a few years ago, until the supreme court shut it down. Now when you visit the website you are greeted with this message:
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.
YOUR IP ADDRESS IS XX.XX.XXX.XX AND HAS BEEN LOGGED.
Don't think you can't get caught. You are not anonymous.
All you’ve to do is download the toolbar and it will do the rest.
Hope this help's
Answer:
Grokster
Grokster Ltd. was a privately-owned software company based in Nevis, West Indies that created the Grokster P2P file-sharing client in 2001 that utilized the FastTrack protocol. Grokster Ltd. was rendered extinct by the United Says Supreme Court's decision in MGM Studios, Inc. v. Grokster, Ltd. The court ruled against Grokster's peer-to-peer file sharing program for personal running the Microsoft Windows operating system, effectively forcing the company to stop operations. The product was similar in look and feel to Kazaa which is marketed by Sharman Networks.
