KaZaA Collapses

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it dept.

MikeKD writes "according to SFGate, KaZaA has announced that it will fold due to the cost of defending itself against the RIAA & MPAA. The timing is notable since on Monday, Altnet (owned by Brillant Digital) announced plans for "sponsored listings in peer-to-peer search" on its "separate [and] secure P2P resource-sharing network"."

    So, what if I live in China, set up a server and serve up kiddie porn to Americans, spamming them every 2 minutes. China has no Child Pornography laws if I remember correctly (that and or no age of concent, not exactly sure on that one). So, since I live in China, I'm immune to any kiddie porn laws.. neyya neyya.

    I don't like this at all. Its problems like this we didn't have to worry about without the Internet. Now that its becoming an issue, people have to something figure out. How do we handle jurisdiction on the internet? I obviously have no idea how to handle this, I'm not a lawyer, and don't understand the governmental protocols to this scope.
