Turning the tables on record labels, makers of the most popular file-sharing network are suing the companies for copyright infringement. Sharman Networks, the company behind the KaZaA file-sharing software, filed a federal lawsuit on Monday accusing the labels 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. Labels have allegedly offered bogus versions of copyrighted works and sent online messages to users.

VERY suspicious!

Awww, look at the pretty boxes...

Anyway, it seems sort of weird--the maker of the premeir file sharing program that shares, by and large, illegal things suing a law enforcement agency thats trying to stop it doing so, because they say that the law enforcement agency is doing illegal things.....definatly a condradiction, and very strange.

Ah well, it will be interesting to see how it plays out.

Off-topic:

It is not needed to quote if you are replying to the post right above you.

Not quoting makes reading topics much easier.
