Kazaa Can Be Sued in United States, Judge Rules

A Los Angeles federal judge has ruled that record companies and movie studios can proceed with a lawsuit against the parent company of Kazaa -- the most popular online file-swapping service -- in the United States. In a 46-page decision, U.S. District Judge Stephen Wilson said a lawsuit against Sharman Networks could proceed, since Kazaa software had been downloaded and used by millions of Californians.
