Kazaa Owners Risk Jail

Posted by Zonk on from the kazoops dept.

An anonymous reader writes "There's been a twist in the Sharman Networks vs record labels case in Australia. Lawyers for the music industry now claim that Sharman's attempt to block Australian IP addresses from accessing the Kazaa website doesn't comply with a court order. As such, they want Kazaa masterminds Nikki Hemming and Kevin Bermeister to go to jail term. The saga began in Feb 2004 and ZDNet Australia has a complete timeline."

    As such, they want Kazaa masterminds Nikki Hemming and Kevin Bermeister to go to jail term.

    Actually, they want no such thing.

    From the article:
    Counsel for the record industry, Tony Bannon, said his side "didn't want" an imprisonment outcome, but argued that Sharman had failed to comply with the order.
