Technical officer for Altnet, Anthony Rose, today had his application to be struck out from the alleged music copyright infringement charges against Sharman Networks and affiliated parties denied in court today.
Despite recent controversy surrounding the peer-to-peer file sharing program Kazaa, its distributor, Sharman Networks, has announced that enduring Australian rock band The Screaming Jets will debut their new EP this month via the software.
Legal representatives from both the Sharman Networks parties and music industry stretched the 13th day of the ongoing trial against the peer to peer software provider for alleged copyright infringing behaviour with arguments over which pieces of evidence will be admissible in court.
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.
