Online digital entertainment distributor Altnet has confirmed plans to share revenue generated by advertising on popular peer-to-peer applications with independent music labels.
Sharman Networks, an Internet software provider, has failed in its application to have evidence against it dismissed, forcing the company to face up to the music copyright infringement charges over its P2P music file sharing software Kazaa.
Lawyers representing record labels and those acting for peer-to-peer companies today argued in the Federal Court of Australia in Sydney whether a controversial order used by the music industry to obtain information on file-sharing companies should be overturned.
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.
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.
