Kazaa Gets Sued In Oz, Adds New Lawyers

The makers of the Kazaa file-sharing software have made some big changes to the team of lawyers defending them from charges of aiding and abetting piracy. The shakeup in the legal team occurred after the Australian recording industry launched a lawsuit against the company. The new lawsuit charges that Kazaa’s very existence constitutes a breach of fair trade practices, and that the company engages in “misleading and deceptive conduct.”
