File-sharing group Grokster has agreed to shut down its website to settle a long-running copyright case launched by the entertainment industry.
Under the deal, Grokster is permanently banned from taking part in the theft of copyrighted music and movie files.
It will also stop giving away and supporting its file-sharing software as well as pay $50m (?28.7m) in damages.
Grokster's website was changed on Monday and now says its existing peer-to-peer (P2P) service was illegal.

id doesn't sound (and indeed isn't) German, it's Dutch! and Budweiser originates from the Czech Republic i believe
