Australian Court says Kazaa Users Breach Copyright

Posted by Hemos on Sunday September 4, 2005 @11:53PM from the not-surprising-ruling-at-this-point dept.

mferrare writes "This from Reuters UK: An Australian court ruled on Monday that users of Kazaa, a popular internet music file-swapping system, breached music copyright and ordered its owners to modify the software. The music industry told the court that Sharman Network licensed users to access a network it knew was being used for piracy and hence it was authorising people to infringe copyright"

Go after the people who are infringing copyrights, please. And leave those of us alone who are distributing copyright material entirely legally, because we own the fucking copyrights. Yeah, leave those poor buggers alone, all 1% of them.
