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.
Sharman Networks has closed down new Australian users' access to the Web site from which the Kazaa Media Desktop (KMD) can be downloaded.
Australia's peak record industry body plans to resource its anti-piracy unit to pursue community education as well as enforcement, its chief said this afternoon.
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.
