StreamCast to Seek Trial in Copyright Case



An AP newswire article by Alex Veiga, via Yahoo! News, reports that:

StreamCast Inc., the company behind the Morpheus online file-swapping software, said Friday negotiations to settle a five-year copyright battle with the entertainment industry have failed and it will now fight the case in court.

"I am really disappointed that we weren't able to reach settlement terms with the plaintiffs," said StreamCast CEO Michael Weiss. "Now we want our day in court."

The company planned to file a motion with U.S. District Judge Stephen Wilson in Los Angeles later in the day seeking a jury trial and responding to a demand for summary judgment by the Hollywood movie studios and recording industry plaintiffs, Weiss said.
