A witness on the ongoing civil trial against peer to peer software provider Sharman Networks has added weight to testimony last week that logs can be maintained to trace users who are exchanging unlicensed music online using the Kazaa software.
A multimillion-dollar settlement is putting Kazaa on the straight and narrow, but it might not be enough to put the file-sharing service on the road to recovery.
After objections from Sharman Networks' legal representatives, Judge Murray Wilcox allowed the admission of an affidavit containing a report on the economic implications of the Kazaa peer-to-peer software.
Eminem, Madonna and Kylie Minogue are just some of the popular artists whose songs are to be blocked from being illegally distributed on the peer-to-peer network Kazaa following Federal Court orders yesterday.
