A few minutes ago, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled unaniumously against Grokster. This ruling means that developers of software could be violating federal copyright law when they provide computer users with the means to share music and movie files downloaded from the Internet. There is not an entirely accurate statement availible yet but what The Supremes said is that "One who distributes a device with the object of promoting its use to infringe copyright ... is liable for the resulting acts of infringement by third parties using the device, regardless of the device's lawful uses." The promotion is the key part of that statement.
