Kazaa events
Kazaa is currently being sued in the US for copyright infringement. KaZaA some time ago was sold to an Australian company, Sharman, and so the question came up - could Sharman be sued in US Courts?
The hearing on this jurisdictional question was in the courts in the US on Monday. There is an article in the Australian today (and thanks to Ian Oi of Blake Dawson Waldron Sydney for pointing it out to me).
No decision yet, but the judge did apparently say that he "would be inclined to find there's jurisdiction against Sharman".
UPDATE: colleague Michael Handler has quite rightly pointed out the errors in the above - Sharman is incorporated in Vanuatu but is run by people out of Sydney. Love to see them enforce in Vanuatu. Moreover, even if there was jurisdiction taken by the US court over NSW parties, as Handler points out, you'd still have to convince a court here to enforce it here - chances of that being, well, somewhat slim. Still of course could make life tough for certain people if jurisdiction was taken and judgment entered. and it is an interesting issue.
