Eagles founder and president of the Recording Artists Coalition (RAC) Don Henley says artists have been vindicatde in court today as a result of the ruling against Grokster.

"By ruling against Grokster, the Supreme Court has vindicated the rights of artists, songwriters, and copyright owners" he said. "There is no more important case for the future of our business. These unauthorized P2P systems promote copyright infringement on an unprecedented scale. They make millions of dollars in advertising, but pay the artists nothing."
