Kazaa And Exportation of U.S. Copyright Laws

Mr. Vidster writes "Interesting article in the NYTimes about the potential issues the U.S. justice system must face when dealing with Sharman Networks and KaZaA. Apparently Sharman and KaZaA have servers in Denmark, source code in Estonia, and the developers live in the Netherlands. How far does the long arm of US copyright law reach?"

Jon Johansen can answer that question for you, and he is only a teengager.
I presume you meant teenganger when you misspelled that. The USA will not stand for these Russian mobsters trying to destroy our way of life. One day you let a teenganger go free and the next day he gets recruited into a terrorist organization. Sorry, but certain things must be done to preserve the American way of life on Earth. If one of those things is to kill this renegade teenganger Johansen then so be it. Down with teengangers!

Hahahaha

''...And according to a lawyer for the record industry, the programmers in Estonia who once possessed a copy of the program's source code told a judge there last week that they no longer had it, but they would not say where it was.''

Your honour, we looked down the back of the sofa. We think maybe the dog ate it.

Libertarians are Republicans that like getting high and watching porn.

Greens are Democrats that can't get a trade union job or don't work at all.

Where I live there's almost always some wingnut racist biker running for president. That's who I vote for.
