A small Australian dot-com claims to have found the solution to the problem of selling music online in a way that satisfies both consumers and record labels, and has received backing from Telstra to bring it to market.
An Australian legal music download company partnered with major record labels has backed the blocking of Kazaa to new Australian users as a sign piracy will no longer be tolerated by authorities here.
After just five months in the role, the head of Australia's music piracy investigations unit is leaving to take on a similar position with the movie industry's anti-piracy operation.
Any appeal by key players associated with the Kazaa file-sharing software will only be heard in February or March next year.
The record companies are celebrating. Digital music has finally been transformed from a threat to an opportunity, a music industry lobby group claims.
