Sharman Networks were called back to court today to settle a dispute over evidence confiscated under Anton Piller (or civil search warrant) orders from CEO Nikki Hemming's house last February. The raids followed allegations of copyright infringement made by Universal Music Australia.
Sharman Networks' chief technology officer has refuted a claim on the Kazaa Web site that the company could "permanently bar" users who are using its peer-to-peer software to distribute child pornography.
Sharman Networks' expert witness has revealed that the Kazaa Media Desktop and FastTrack system will continue to spread even if both systems were to be shut down.
Lawyers for Universal Music put the hard word on Sharman Networks in Federal Court today attempting to force the company to reveal its corporate structure and anonymous director. The Universal Music parties' senior counsel, John Nicholas, claimed the company has purposely been set up with no visible line of command to "resist a claim like this".
Justice Murray Wilcox has promised to "crack the whip" in regards to the Sharman Networks alleged copyright infringement court battle, saying the company that owns the file-sharing service Kazaa has given "too many promises".

Since its release, the iPhone has had more than its share of press. Love it or hate it, everyone's been talking about it and looking at its sleek, colourful interface, it's hard not to fall in love with it. But like most decisions based on emotion, buying one may not be the smartest thing to do at least, not yet.

The Z750i has spunky looks and a decent interface, but Telstra has shoved in a few naff features that either don't work or don't make sense.
