Hollywood Tries to Corner Kazaa

A federal court in Los Angeles will consider in the forthcoming days, whether entertainment companies may perform legal actions against the distributors of Kazaa peer to peer software. Kazaa is a Dutch software company.

However distributor company Sharman Networks, is registered at Vanuatu, an island-state in South Pacific Ocean. The software is also distributed by servers outside U.S. so the argument that may be used, is that U.S. courts have no jurisdiction.

Where is Vanuatu? Well take a look on the map:

Wow! I didn't know that Kazaa was so hard to get to! I love it! Hollywood may own America but not the world!

Yea. It makes me think that Microsoft could do the sme thing. Move their interests outside the U.S. and avoid all the court cases! Remember that thingy about Bill buying an island and creating his own nation, hmm.
