Summary of Ori Brafman & Rod A. Beckstrom's The Starfish and the Spider

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The case involved a peer-to-peer service that allowed people to share music and movie files over the Internet. The biggest players, with the best lawyers in the world, were arguing before the highest court in the land.

#2 The music industry went after the people who were downloading their music, and in 2000, the courts ruled against Napster. In 2003, Napster declared bankruptcy, and in December 2003, it sold its brand name and intellectual property to Roxio, Inc. , for a song.

#3 The Grokster case can be traced back to the year 1519, when the Spanish explorer Hernando Cortés met with the Aztec leader Montezuma II. Cortés demanded all the gold in the city, and when Montezuma handed it over, Cortés killed him.

#4 The Spanish were eventually able to defeat the Apaches, and by the 1680s, they had control of northern Mexico. The Apaches were not able to defeat the Spanish because they were organized as a society, while the record labels were not able to defeat the P2P sites because they were decentralized.
