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.
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".
Lawyers representing Sharman Networks today informed the Federal Court of Australia they intended to challenge the validity of the court order which resulted in raids on several premises last week.
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 chief executive officer, Nikki Hemming, claims yesterday's Federal Court decision has justified the company's claims that the surprise raids of Sharman premises were "heavy handed" tactics.
