You've checked out the software, possibly posted bail, read the opinion and thought about theory, but you haven't really "grokked" Grokster (and Morpheus, and BearShare and eDonkey and Blubster) until you've taken this behind-the-scenes tour of the way the fight over file-sharing was really fought in the halls of Congress, on the pages of the press and in the hearts and minds of a generation. Adam Eisgrau, lobbyist for the developers of the software just named, will provide a rare glimpse into the real workings of one of the new century's most contentious issues and its larger implications -- not just for copyright law, the Internet or e-commerce, but for the flow of information envisioned by the Framers of the Constitution as critical to the health of Democracy itself.
