Kazaa Betamax Defense, Reports From The Courtroom
The Hobo writes "CBC is reporting that Kazaa, mentioned in a previous Slashdot story has mounted the 'Betamax defence.' The prosecution claims Sharman Networks does not enforce their agreement which stipulates users cannot share copyrighted material." Also following the case, Dan Warne writes "Australia's APC magazine is publishing a daily blog from the Kazaa trial proceedings in Sydney's Federal Court. It has some details not reported elsewhere, like the music industry piracy investigation chief apparently losing a $100 bet on the first day of the trial. More seriously, blogging journalist Garth Montgomery says the court heard evidence that Kazaa's software already had the ability to block copyrighted tracks built in, despite Sharman's protestations to the contrary."

Well, here is an interesting issue. Using Firefox 1.0 on Win2K, I had mistakenly left the system set to claim to be IE 6 on XP.
Following the link to the blog gets me a Java NullPointerError, basically hosing all of Firefox. After ending it, I can't restart it without the system complaining "Java Plug-In for Netscape Navigator should not be used in Microsoft Internet Explorer. Please use Java Plug-in for Microsoft Internet Explorer instead."
I can't fix it. Firefox is gone. I uninstalled, rebooted, reinstalled and same error. If started, it consumes 99% CPU and never comes on screen and has to be killed.
I'm posting there HERE because here was the link to the website that triggered the error. Anyone else brave enough to try and reproduce it?
