An investigator for Music Industry Piracy Investigations this morning formally served papers on Sharman Networks at its headquarters in Vanuatu in relation to the just-launched Australian copyright infringement case.
Sharman Networks has rejected claims from the music industry that it can identify the difference between copyright infringing and legitimate file-sharing on its network, a crucial step towards the company gaining the capacity to block illegal file-sharing.
Music Industry Piracy Investigations this morning raided the offices of p2p companies Sharman Networks and Brilliant Digital Entertainment, along with the homes of key executives.
Former music piracy investigator Michael Speck, who spearheaded the record companies' long-running campaign to shutdown Kazaa, has joined the peer-to-peer network's business partner, Altnet.
An Australian judge yesterday threw out a request to block media and music industry access to documents involved in the Kazaa legal action, including a contract that specified how much Sharman Networks paid for the peer to peer software.
