(FoxNews) In a stunning move, the courst have ruled that Grokster and Streamcast Networks were not liable for illegal copying. This is a major blow to the music industry if it stands up in court.

Judge Stephen Wilson sided with the two companies in his 34 page ruling, citing the 1984 case where the courts sided with Sony after the movie industry filed suit against the company for producing VCRs, which could be used to illegaly copy movies.

Along the same train of thought, the judge agreed that Grokster and Streamcast only provided the technology.

'It's a vindication. We are not pirates,' said Wayne Rosso, president of Grokster, based in Nevis, West Indies.

'Businesses that intentionally facilitate massive piracy should not be able to evade responsibility for their actions,' said Hilary Rosen, chairman and CEO of the Recording Industry Association of America.
