Grokster Watch

MGM v. Grokster will be argued before the U.S. Supreme Court on March 29. Thanks Donna for the link to the 3/1 press conference audio (37M MP3), and I'm a little late in noticing the 9th Circuit oral argument audio (16.4MB MP3) is available too. Who will blog the argument? Fred hopefully. Others?
