Kazaa's Australian Assets Frozen

Posted by Zonk on from the high-court-smackdown dept.

sandstorming writes "Wired is reporting that Sharman Networks (the creators of Kazaa) and Altnet (which licenses technology to Kazaa) have had their assets frozen in the country of Australia. The verdict comes almost four months after the start of the trial prompted by five record company suits. The Australian federal court will convene on March 22nd for final oral submissions, and the verdict is expected several weeks later. Is this the beginning of the end for Kazaa?"

    Its not 'corporate *america*' that is the problem.

    Its corporations in general, *world wide*, who now have more power then small countries.

    This of course doesnt mean governments are also an issue, but today it looks like the corporations are a much larger threat in general.

    Dont blame the USA for a systemic world problem.
