The Australian-based owner of popular peer-to-peer program Kazaa, Sharman Networks, has welcomed a United States court ruling favouring file-sharing software, but is still evaluating its impact on its own legal battle with the music industry.
Australian headquartered file-sharing software company Sharman Networks has filed papers with the U.S. Court of Appeals urging it to uphold an order it made in April.
The Recording Industry Association of America said Friday that it had sued Israeli file-swapping company iMesh, one of the oldest of the peer-to-peer companies still in operation.
A federal judge in Los Angeles has handed a stunning court victory to file-swapping services Streamcast Networks and Grokster, dismissing much of the record industry and movie studios' lawsuit against the two companies.
