KaZaa Ignores Court Order to Shut Down

An anonymous reader submitted that "The Amsterdam district court ruled two weeks ago that the KaZaa P2P program is acting unlawfully by making software available that allows users to download music files and must shut down. The court gave the company 14 days to do this or face $40,000 US a day in fines. KaZaa has chosen to ignore the shutdown order."

    Crap, pure crap! We have people in the US who openly admit to breaking the DMCA rules on national TV (Patrick Norton on TechTV), and nothing happens, yet they try and make an example of a foreign based company that is simply running a p2p network server, it's not their fault everyone uses it to pirate... Hell, I'm amazed they don't try and shutdown ISPs and the entire Internet, afterall the p2p networks use the net don't they? sheesh...
