Message to Kazaa: Filter copyright material or be shut down
An Australian court has set a deadline of the 5th December for the makers of Kazaa to implement a filter for copyrighted music on its file sharing network. If they don't then they face being closed down.
Quote:
Kazaa's operators, Sharman Networks, had appealed the judgment. But according to music industry trade group IFPI, the Australian court said that to avoid complete shutdown Kazaa must, as a first step, put in place a keyword filter system within 10 days.
Sharman Networks had said it could not control the actions of an estimated 100 million users.
