The Australian music industry's piracy investigations body has slammed new research on digital file sharing as "misguided", saying the survey fails to take into account the "property rights" of music owners.
Sharman Networks, owner and distributor of the file sharing program Kazaa, has failed to meet the deadline set by the Australian Federal Court to produce documents related to its music copyright infringement charges.
A NSW Federal Court today gave parties involved in copyright infringement suit over file-sharing software Kazaa a deadline to submit requests to access evidence seized from Sharman Networks in raids last February.
The anti-piracy case between the Music Industry Piracy Investigations (MIPI) and Internet service provider Swiftel has been settled out of court.
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.
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.
