Sharman Networks and MIPI will be back in Federal court Friday for yet another legal contest over access to evidence that was confiscated in raids last February.
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.
The recent raids by Australian record labels were so disruptive they may have caused the deferral of the court case of their US parent companies.
The Australian-based owner of popular peer-to-peer program Kazaa, Sharman Networks, has welcomed a United States court ruling favouring file-sharing software, but is still evaluating its impact on its own legal battle with the music industry.
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.
US vice presidential candidate Joe Biden has a mixed record on technology, spending most of his Senate career allied with the FBI and copyright holders. His anti-privacy legislation was actually responsible for the creation of PGP.
Kazaa's chief lobbyist, Philip Corwin, says Hollywood is sparing no expense to squash P2P.
In order to get the real picture behind the US-Australia free trade agreement, one needs to examine the document with a fine-tooth comb. Of particular interest is how Australia will have to model its laws after the US Millennium Copyright Act.
Australian-headquartered Sharman Networks released a new version of its Kazaa file-trading software Thursday, adding new features and advertising partners the company hopes will aid in its legal struggle for its life.
