Kazaa to install anti-piracy tool
The Kazaa file-sharing network will soon change its core software in an attempt to cut music piracy.
An Australian court has told Kazaa’s owners to impose a filtering system so searches for 3,000 keywords do not let users find copyrighted material. It is unclear whether the keyword list will limit piracy as many file-swappers have now stopped using Kazaa.
The order by the court is the outcome of the copyright infringement case that Kazaa lost earlier this year. That case was brought in Australia by more than 30 music labels and ended with Kazaa being found guilty of encouraging users to infringe copyright.
As part of the ruling the federal judge gave Kazaa owners Sharman Networks two months to change its technology to stop people finding and sharing pirated music. That deadline expires on 5 December.
Sharman has won an extension to this deadline by agreeing to put in place the keyword filing system. The appeal will now be heard in February 2006.
Initially the record labels, represented by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, wanted Kazaa to filter 10,000 terms. The court reduced this to a list 3,000 terms long that will be updated every fortnight. Kazaa will have 48 hours to update the lists when they are renewed.
As another condition Kazaa must make it impossible for users of its updated browsing software to get around the list. It must also make efforts to make as many users as possible upgrade to the restricted version.
