Sharman Networks has announced it will appeal a Federal Court ruling that several respondents associated with the company had authorised infringement of music industry copyright and that it must introduce filters to the Kazaa file-sharing software.

Any appeal by key players associated with the Kazaa file-sharing software will only be heard in February or March next year.
