Out of the wild west it came….Dueling lawsuits….Showdown
at the Courtroom Corral…A Lawyers Bonanza and a Comedy of Trials
and Errors.
Sharman Networks, the company behind the Kazaa file-sharing software,
filed a federal lawsuit on Monday accusing the entertainment companies
of using unauthorized versions of its software in their efforts to snoop
out users.
Sharman said the companies used Kazaa Lite, an ad-less replica of its software,
to get onto the network. The lawsuit also claims efforts to combat piracy
on Kazaa violated terms for using the network. Entertainment companies
have offered bogus versions of copyright works and sent online messages
to users.
