Kazaa Launches Legitimacy Campaign

Posted by simoniker on from the v-well-behaved dept.

Beolach writes "The Washington Post has an article on Kazaa launching a $1 million advertising campaign promoting itself as a legitimate media distribution tool. From the article: 'The campaign is the latest push by the Kazaa file-sharing service and its parent company, Sharman Networks, to counter a multi-million-dollar legal and lobbying effort launched by music, software and movie firms convinced that peer-to-peer (P2P) services are a major source of online piracy'."

    Owning a legal gun is not against the law.
    Shooting copyright lawyers is.
