Kazza not allowed to be used in Australia

[Guest Stuge]

ACCORDING TO THE FEDERAL COURT OF Australia,Persons who are in Australia cannot use Kazza ..

The software of exchange by Peer to Peer continues its dark descent into Hell started already a long moment ago, when this last started to attract itself the lightnings of the majors owing to the fact that it made it possible to its users to exchange free contents protected by royalties.

Its editor Sharman Networks had thus seen himself posing an ultimatum obliging it to pose filters on the search engine of the software, thus preventing the users from finding contents illegal on the network.

Only, After this ultimatum, which lately was seen pushed back (see our topicality entitled Kazaa profits from a small extension ), it would seem that Kazaa finally chose a simpler solution, but also much more radical, which would be quite simply more not to distribute its software for Australia, country where this last had been declared, in the state, illegal.

One walked in Kazaa

"To the attention of the users in Australia:

In accordance with what was ordered by the Federal Court of Australia, while waiting for a call in February 2006, the use of Kazaa Media Desktop is not allowed for the people in Australia. If you are in Australia, you should not download or use Kazaa Media Desktop."

This message is posted recently within a large red framework on the banner page of the site dedicated to Kazaa (accessible here ).

It would thus seem that while waiting for a kind of last judgement which must take place in February, at the same time as the date fixed by the Australian courts for the installation of filters on the software.

However, this message hides certain lack of clearness on behalf of Sherman Networks, which, if it specifies that this prohibition to use Kazaa is limited temporarily to February 2006, does not let nothing appear as for knowing or not Sherman Networks so yes hopes well to bring the known as filters on its software from here February.

It is true that the last times, before those are not seen pushed back at February, expired on December 5, and did not seem in measurement to be respected, it is at least what would like to do to hear industry.

This message would it be the result of a decision of Kazaa regulating the problem by the simplest manner, which would be not to modify the software as envisaged, leaving it illegal for Australia, but equal to itself in the rest of the world?

Nothing is for moment less sure, always is it that the Australian ones trying to connect itself on the site of Kazaa are seen redirected on a page different from that posted in the rest of the world, which lets predict that Sherman Networks would provide then to block the access to the Australian Net surfers, as even think it some who have already much evil, can be connected already more to the FastTrack network, used by Kazaa...

So Kazza might be banned in other countries also after this ..
