In 2001, a suit alleging contributory and vicarious copyright infringement was filed by artists and publishers against Grokster and two other file-sharing software makers. In April 2003, the District Court entered summary judgment for the defendants, which became final and appealable in June, and MGM et al appealed. Electronic Frontier Foundation has taken an amicus position in the case, favoring the defendants. They have collected online links to complaints, briefs and decisions in the case, which is now on appeal before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. See EFF: MGM v. Grokster
