Kazaa Outed Over 'Trust Fund' for Red Cross
danwarne writes "In one of the most bizarre twists in the court action against Kazaa yet, documents have been tendered in Australian Federal Court court that showed that Kazaa claimed to have set up a trust fund for donations to the Red Cross (at about the time the tsunami hit), but the Red Cross has confirmed in writing it has never heard from them about it. The music industry alleged in court that it was a tactic by Kazaa parent company Sharman Networks to park money out of the reach of the music industry if it loses the case and is left with a huge damages bill. This in the same week that it came out in court that top Sharman/BDE execs offloaded their multi-million dollar homes. Sounds like Kazaa's lawyers might be telling them to prepare for the worst..."

Real men don't scam citizens for stash-money! They zip it up, call it goat porn and upload it to Kazaa! Oh wait...

They might as well just go wail on AudioGalaxy some more, one of the many dead horses of music sharing.
Maybe if the RIAA wins they'll think they've actually stopped something and forget about Soulseek.
Yep, but once they are finished with Kazaa, who is next? Hopefully not the edonkey network...
I know Kevin Bermeister personally, and he is the worst snake in the grass you could ever meet. He'd sell his mother for a dollar.
GO on, ask around. Anyone who has been in contact with him rarely comes out untouched by his filth.
Yep, I'm staying anonimous. He knows people, you know.
Kazaa needs to go down just so he does, good enough reason for me.
Dear Sir,
I am an extremely wealthy Australian businessman who needs to quickly move money out of the country.
If you let me use your bank account, I will pay you 10%.
Of course, I do already know your bank account details, given the amount of spyware I loaded onto your computer...
Sincerely,
N. Hemming

If lawyers actually had scruples, and refused to lie in the courtroom, we would not have all the frivolous lawsuits (like the lady who spilled coffee, or the idiots who jump off ladders and sue the ladder company....or the guy who just now won millions from Ford because he rolled an SUV when speeding while drunk in it).
The problem is that this writer adopts the style of an 8 yrear old girl.

Hmm, this journalist definitely seems like a product of Microsoft's new l337 sp33k... oh, excuse me... "leetspeek" guide.
