LimeWire and Music Labels Face Off Over Damages

Via CourthouseNews.com:

"Attorneys offered competing explanations of how major record labels view file-sharing software as opening arguments kicked off the damages trial against former LimeWire CEO Mark Gorton on Wednesday.

...

The eight-person jury listening to opening arguments on Wednesday afternoon will not determine whether LimeWire's peer-to-peer file-sharing is illegal; a judge already determined that it was in May 2010.

Instead, jurors will decide how much Gorton owes the labels in damages."
