After months of issuing warnings, the music industry finally made good on its threat to file suit against peer-to-peer software company LimeWire.
Following Sharman Networks' announcement that it filed papers with the United States Supreme Court in support of file sharing companies Grokster and StreamCast, ZDNet Australia spoke to the p2p software company's California based legal team and Australia's own piracy investigations chief about copyright infringement, technology and the law.
Judgement in the long-running legal battle between the music industry and Sharman Networks over alleged copyright breaches involving the Kazaa file-sharing software will be handed down in the Federal Court in Sydney this afternoon.
A multimillion-dollar settlement is putting Kazaa on the straight and narrow, but it might not be enough to put the file-sharing service on the road to recovery.
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.
Napster founder Shawn Fanning is back in business, with a new vision of label-approved file trading.
Kazaa's chief lobbyist, Philip Corwin, says Hollywood is sparing no expense to squash P2P.
Whether you give your employees free rein when it comes to peer-to-peer applications or prohibit their use, it's important for you to take a position on the issue. Here's a policy that can give you some guidance.
Prevent P2P problems on your network by preparing for security threats from programs such as Napster and KaZaa.
It took a boom and a bust to do it, but peer-to-peer technology is finding its post-Napster place in the world.
The popular P2P software company is letting loose Grokster Pro at a time when the recording industry is turning up the heat on individuals downloading music.
Apple Computer has unveiled its latest line of digital music products, including a long-awaited Internet music store and ultrathin versions of its popular iPod portable MP3 player.
Former file-swapping wunderkind Sean Fanning has signed up to help CD-burning technology company Roxio build a reborn Napster service--but with a difference.
Computer and telecommunications companies are allying with file-swapping service Kazaa in a bid to overhaul the way record labels are paid for music and other content distributed on the Net.
The developer of a peer-to-peer file-sharing plug-in for Apple Computer's iTunes music application has decided to give the software a new lease on life, after it was put out of commission by the computer maker's lawyers earlier this month.
