KaZaa Ignores Court Order to Shut Down

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-that-takes-balls dept.

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."

    When the police show up to arrest the principals, all they have to do is flash a toothy grin and a packet of Mentos, the FreshMaker, and everything will be forgotten.

    Hey, it works in Italy all the time.

    Um, this is kinda sorta completely different in that KaZaa isn't the executive branch of a damned thing, and the court could most certainly have its order enforced on them.

    KaZaa may be lucky enough to wiggle out of this one because of the prior court order. This is hardly them staring down The Man.
