Last week, Mike Lynn, a researcher formerly working for Internet Security Systems (ISS), gave a presentation at the Black Hat conference on the internal workings of Cisco’s Internetworking Operating System (IOS) and exploit techniques that, in short, rocked the security world, created quite a legal stir and caused some security pundits to accuse the usual characters -big business - of being "thugs."

It's tempting to see the U.S. Supreme Court's Grokster decision as technology's loss and copyright's gain, but that analysis misses the mark.
