...kind--showed that a medicine containing cannabis extracts called Sativex not only lessened the pain of rheumatoid arthritis but actually suppressed the disease. An earlier study published in the Journal of Neuroscience showed that synthetic cannabinoids, the chemicals in marijuana, can reduce inflammation in the brain and may protect it from the cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer's disease...

Despite that it has been nearly five months since Grokster was decided, we’re just now beginning to feel its influence. What happens next will be something worth watching carefully. Lawyers, technologists, and scholars...
