Sharman Networks chief executive officer Nikki Hemming has been granted more time to prepare for her long-awaited cross-examination by record industry lawyers in the long-running Kazaa legal wrangle.
Nikki Hemming and Kevin Bermeister, the masterminds behind the Kazaa file sharing software, could face time behind bars after the record industry initiated contempt of court proceedings, claiming an earlier ruling wasn't adhered to.
Any appeal by key players associated with the Kazaa file-sharing software will only be heard in February or March next year.
