Third Voice revisited

I looked up the past debates on whether Third Voice 'overlay' comment
service is (secondarily) liable for infringing copyright of the original web
publishers.  It seems there is no conclusive answer to that.

Lately, Greasemonkey is used popularly among Firefox users.  Greasemonkey is
a Firefox extension and allows users to modify web sites to personal taste,
eg., eliminating banner ads (even google ads), blocking pop-ups, displaying
several webpages in one web browser pane, etc.  What Third Voice was doing
is similar as Greasemoney in that it provides end-users with option to
modify web pages as is displayed to the individual users.

Does anyone have idea on whether the law has been any more clear than it was
in 1999 when Third Voice emerged from dark and soon faded away
