Turning the tables on record labels, makers of the most popular Internet song-swapping network are suing entertainment companies for copyright infringement.

Sharman Networks Ltd., the company behind the Kazaa file-sharing software, filed a federal lawsuit Monday accusing the entertainment companies of using unauthorized versions of its software in their efforts to root out users. Entertainment companies have offered bogus versions of copyright works and sent online messages to 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.

lol!

never thought this would happen

As the old saying goes, "What comes around, goes around".

More lawsuits for the RIAA! We have to make an example out of them so other global record organizations don't try the same stunt of suing their customers.

The problem is that kazaa liite might get swallowed in the process as well

Well go Kazaa makers (can't think of who that is at this second) hehe

If all goes well in this court case it will definately piss off the RIAA which would be great, finally RIAA may have to obey the law.

Of course bad news for kazaa lite, might want to keep a backup install archive on you pc

This suit is rather disturbing. If sharman wins, i'm betting you that it will have negative implications to file sharers out there.

*again this gives me more fodder to hate copyrights, patents, and trademarks
