Streamcast Networks are 1 of a series of companies that are been sued as part of the FastTrack suit. Today they asked a court to declare a summary judgment approving the legal distribution of Morpheus, saying that the software is capable of substantial non-infringing uses. Furthermore, StreamCast said that it cannot control the actions of its users
This is probably related to the fact that the RIAA and MPAA are expected to seek a summary judgement in the same case this week
. On this issue, briefs will take place over the next few months and oral arguments over whether StreamCast’s Gnutella client can control users will take place on December 2, 2002.
