Whether I agree or disagree with the decision not withstanding, but does anybody honestly believe the Supreme Court Justices have the technological knowledge to rule on such a case one way or the other? Gun to their heads, could a justice make a clear distinction between a digital copy and a digital retransmission? Are they versed in peer-to-peer services as opposed to a single provider offering the same service? I know that in the end, the specifics of a case matter less than precedent and relevant case law, but I can't shake the feeling that the justices half-assed their way through this case the same way I used to half-ass my way through book reports in high school when I hadn't read the book.
