Sharman Defends Kazaa In Australia

Sharman Defends Kazaa In Australia 05/19/2004 04:23 AM
Sharman Networks, the owners of the Kazaa software and network, were in an Australian court arguing that what they do is not copyright infringement at all - which is a fact. They don't provide unauthorized songs for download - they simply offer tools for file sharing. Admittedly, many people use it for illegal file sharing, but that's not the same thing. Many people speed when driving, but we don't haul General Motors to court because of it. Apparently, Sharman had dug up a legal decision from 1899 which found that pianola rolls did not infringe copyrights. This argument may get a little tricky, since the original argument claimed that a pianola roll was quite different from playing music on an actual instrument. Sharman is going to walk down the somewhat tricky legal path claiming that a music file on a computer is not a "copy of a sound recording." That may be a very difficult suggestion to convince a judge about.

Best. Headline. Ever. Story in today's Wired News on the legal response of Kazaa's makers to last week's court ordered raid of its Australian headquarters.

Sharman Networks threw down the legal challenge Tuesday in Australia's Federal Court in Sydney. Sharman was raided by Music Industry Piracy Investigations, a private investigations unit established by the Australian Recording Industry Association to crack down on copyright infringement, including illegal Internet file sharing. MIPI successfully applied to the federal court for a number of private search warrants, known as Anton Piller orders, which were executed at 12 locations, including Sharman's offices in Sydney. The order allowed MIPI to seize data and documents from all 12 sites, including the private residence of Sharman chief executive Nikki Hemming. The raids are a prelude to a copyright infringement suit, which will argue that Sharman has the ability to block the transfer of copyrighted works through its software but refuses to do so. Sharman vehemently denies the claim.

Though communications carriers do not offer this type of continuous communication as a service today, the piece parts are already in place. [PRWEB Dec 20, 2004]

Bye, Bye Kazaa!

Bye, Bye Kazaa! 07/13/2004 11:48 PM
With innovations like eDonkey, SoulSeek, and now with BitTorrent, does Kazaa really even matter anymore? In this article, there is speculation that many of Kazaa’s users are simply logging off completely. Not because they want to buy their music, but they are simply opting for different alternatives instead.

Is Kazaa Over?

Is Kazaa Over? 06/30/2004 06:01 PM
As someone who has never used Kazaa, I have no idea how its use has changed over time, but apparently, more and more users are bailing out. They're fed up with the adware, the lawsuits (which often target Kazaa users) and all the bogus files. Of course, while that might sound like wonderful news for the recording industry, it's actually much worse. Users aren't giving up on file sharing, they're just switching to other offerings that include more useful features and less annoying crap (gee, what a surprise). The article points out that the various lawsuits against Kazaa owner Sharman appear to be taking their toll as the product has been unable to keep up. However, this whole thing points to a much more important fact: users are going to keep migrating to better products that are further underground. Each time the recording industry thinks they're declaring victory, they're just making their own job harder -- and I don't just mean the job of tracking down and suing file sharing individuals. They're making it increasingly difficult to set up a system that actually embraces file sharing, while still giving them the ability to make money. They could still do it, but they've given no indication that they intend to go down that path. Instead, they seem to enjoy making things worse for themselves, because that lets them keep complaining.

Is Kazaa Really Centralized?

Is Kazaa Really Centralized? 02/12/2004 02:44 AM
While many have been following the story about the music police raiding Sharman/Kazaa's office, one competitor thinks it's a good thing. Streamline, the makers of the Morpheus file sharing application, has a long history with Kazaa - as they used to license the same technology until they were accused of not paying their bills and were shut off. So, clearly, they are a bit biased against Kazaa, but they're bringing up a very important point. The whole point of having a truly distributed file sharing network is that it can't be shut down, even if you shut down the folks who released the software. Yet, Morpheus was shut down two years ago which made many people questio n how this was possible. Over time, these questions have faded, but the folks behind Morpheus are raising the question again and saying that Ka zaa is really centralized - and have been hiding behind their odd corporate structure to hide this fact for the last couple years. That would be quite a revelation, and would seriously damage Kazaa's legal standing. Thus, the folks behind Morpheus are hoping that the questionable raid on Kazaa's offices will establish this for certain. It appears that, once again, there isn't much harmony in the file sharing world.

Bollywood Signs Up For Kazaa Movie

Bollywood Signs Up For Kazaa Movie
Downloads... But Not Really 12/23/2003 05:39 PM
There have been a few stories about "legitimate" companies doing deals with Kazaa, but once you get past the headline, you realize that it's not true at all. Just like all those other deals the headlines trumpeting a deal between some some Bollywood film makers and Kazaa isn't really about Kazaa at all. Instead, it's a deal with Kazaa's sister company Altnet, which runs a service within Kazaa to distribute approved copy protected content. So, this isn't at all about film makers understanding the promotional value of free downloads, but rather them trying to piggyback copy protection (in this case files that supposedly "self-destruct" after a single $3 viewing) on the popularity of Kazaa. The deal isn't even that good. $3 for a product that self-destructs after a single viewing? You get a better deal going to the local video store. Meanwhile, though, they get all the publicity of having the film "offered on Kazaa". All Altnet is really doing is bolting a pay-for service (like iTunes) into Kazaa. It doesn't leverage the real benefits of a distributed file sharing network at all.

Flooding File Sharing Networks With
Bogus Files: Patented

Flooding File Sharing Networks With
Bogus Files: Patented 05/05/2004 05:10 PM
Well, here's a nice convergence story covering two topics we discuss on a regular basis: file sharing and ridiculous patents. A computer science professor has now received a patent on the process of flooding a file sharing network with bogus files to annoy people trying to download files. How is this not obvious? It didn't take a professor and a doctoral student to come up with this idea. Plenty of folks in the industry just went ahead and did it themselves. The professor also makes the same tired old mistake of saying that file sharing is the same thing as stealing a CD out of a store - something that even the Supreme Court has said is not true. Copyright infringement is definitely illegal, but it's not the same thing as stealing a physical object. Of course, some may say that this will make it more expensive for others to flood such P2P networks with fake files (and therefore a good thing), but relying on a bad patent isn't the way to go. I wonder if this patent covers flooding the patent office with bogus patents as well?
