Kazaa Outed Over 'Trust Fund' for Red Cross

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.

What in the holy name of hell is passing for journalism these days? I might as well be reading my little brother's blog.
