Sharman Networks Cleared to Bring Lawsuit Against Entertainment Industry

Sharman Networks Cleared to Bring Lawsuit Against Entertainment Industry: "n his ruling, Judge Wilson acknowledged that Sharman Networks has every
right to pursue its claims that the record label and motion picture plaintiffs
in the lawsuit have infringed Sharman's copyrights. Unlike the plaintiffs'
claims that third parties are infringing their copyrights, the court has ruled
that Sharman may pursue its claim that these plaintiffs directly and through
their agents infringed Sharman's copyrights. In addition, Sharman Networks
can now also pursue its claims that the industry plaintiffs breached the End
User License Agreement (EULA) for the Kazaa software by:

* Using the Kazaa software to transmit and download spoofed or corrupted files.
* Violating state and federal personal privacy laws and the rights of individual computer users by hacking and exploring files located on their computers.
* Using the Kazaa Software's instant messenger functionality to send threatening messages to other users of Kazaa software."
