Aussie Kazaa users told to stop using Kazaa

OUT-LAW News, 06/12/2005

Australian Kazaa fans can now no longer use or download the P2P application.

As an apparent deadline for the addition of copyright filtering technology came and went yesterday without such a change apparently being made, Kazaa owner Sharman Networks was forced to stop distributing its software to local users.

Anyone accessing the Kazaa website was told: "To comply with the orders of the Federal Court... use of the Kazaa Media Desktop is not permitted by persons in Australia. If you are in Australia, you must not download or use the Kazaa Media Desktop."
