Kazaa Fights Back
Cracula writes "CNET is reporting that tonight Kazaa filed a lawsuit against the major record labels and Hollywood studios, asserting that they are attempting to stifle a legitimate and potentially profit-cutting business model. Sharman Networks (owner of Kazaa) says that their model is fundmentally different than Napster because their major goal is to make money off their companion program Altnet that delivers authorized, paid content. While this may sound like a shot in the dark, last year a federal judge actually ruled that the record labels' current efforts to provide online access to their music may run afoul of anti-trust laws. Kazaa may actually have a hope."
Isn't this what Napster did in it's last death throes? FPBTW.
I always appalaud any entity that is designed to undermine the imperialist factories of filth, vice, and sin that is the Western movie and music industry.
In North Korea, we are working on using Kazaa and other P2P nets to distribute some much more patriotic and upright works such as Arirang, Fight the US savage dogs, Happy Socialist Days, The Kim Jong Il Song, and more!
Such inspiring and rousing tunes are coming to a P2P network near YOU!

Yes, fuck the entertainment industry. They've been willing to sell anything to make a buck for so long... no matter what kind of effect it has on societies, children, et al.
I'm convinced they'd sell movies of little girls getting gang-raped if they could get away with it and someone was willing to pay...
They can go to hell in my opinion. Aww, they're losing some money to file-sharing... boo-fucking-hoo
