A unanimous ruling in a copyright case determined through the ideal courtroom in 2005, MGM Studios v. Grokster, made up our minds that dossier sharing prone akin to Grokster and StreamCast Networks should be held answerable for what clients do with the fabric they obtain. accordingly, the case outlined the connection among know-how improvement and copyright rules as one in keeping with estate rights, exclusivity, and financial price. This dissertation analyzes the felony and public discourse surrounding the case and the cultural context that made the ruling attainable. I examine the stipulations that gave upward push to the ruling by way of interpreting the discourse of creators, technologists, content material vendors, and their advocates. via an research of the competing narratives approximately copyright legislation surrounding the case, I express how the tales instructed form our cultural figuring out of what's and isn't appropriate use of copyrighted works on electronic networks. This paintings seeks to complicate the dichotomy among recommendations of "property" and "the commons" that function in modern discourses of copyright. I argue that the ruling isn't easily a criminal reaction to the specter of peer-to-peer know-how to the recording and film industries, yet, particularly, could be visible as a website of negotiation between competing versions of cultural construction. This dissertation illustrates that the rhetoric of "property stewardship" from content material proprietors aligns effectively with the legislation simply because each one is premised at the thought of unique, transmittable info items, instead of the social and relational dimensions of communicative participation. As an interrogation into the stress among technological development and copyright legislations, the ruling's definition of worth in cultural construction, and of the cultural context in which the case happens, this dissertation illustrates how students or rhetoric learning the public's adoption and model of specialised felony discourse may well problem inherent cultural biases via serious rhetorical praxis.
