Kazaa in trouble

Sun, 12 Jan 2003 12:00:00 +0000

Kazaa is next. Even though it’s not based in the US, Kazaa has been ruled to be subject to US laws. No matter what the outcome, Kazaa is going to be in trouble. Well, time to move on to the next P2P software.

Music swapping continues

Music-swapping continues. An RIAA spokesman says,

The problem would have been far worse if we had not stopped Napster. We would have seen far more venture capital companies taking a shot (at P2P sites) if Napster had succeeded.

However,

consumers are continually becoming more accustomed to downloading music for free

KaZaa’s the most popular right now, but not for long, perhaps.

KaZaa also faces a possible Napster-esque end. The recording industry has sued the service and court date looms in December

More e-mail being used as evidence

More e-mail being used as evidence. This time, by the evil RIAA against Morpheus and Kazaa. I wonder if this goes against some legal principle? Aren’t you supposed to say, “Anything you say can be used against you?” Reminds me of ‘American Beauty’, in which Ricky agrees to kills Jane’s parents on video.

Kazaa is up for sale. Thanks to copyright. But file swapping continues.
