Morpheus later became a client of the <a href="/wiki/Gnutella" title="Gnutella">gnutella</a> network.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Lawsuits">Lawsuits</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Kazaa&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Lawsuits"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Consumer Empowerment was sued in the <a href="/wiki/Netherlands" title="Netherlands">Netherlands</a> in 2001 by the Dutch music publishing body, <a href="/wiki/Buma/Stemra" title="Buma/Stemra">Buma/Stemra</a>. The court ordered Kazaa's owners to take steps to prevent its users from violating copyrights or else pay a heavy fine. In October 2001 a lawsuit was filed against Consumer Empowerment by members of the music and motion picture industry in the US. In response Consumer Empowerment sold the Kazaa application to Sharman Networks, headquartered in <a href="/wiki/Australia" title="Australia">Australia</a> and incorporated in <a href="/wiki/Vanuatu" title="Vanuatu">Vanuatu</a>. In late March 2002, a Dutch court of appeal reversed an earlier judgment and stated that Kazaa was not responsible for the actions of its users. Buma/Stemra lost its appeal before the Dutch Supreme Court in December 2003. </p><p>In 2003, Kazaa signed a deal with Altnet and <a href="/wiki/Streamwaves" title="Streamwaves">Streamwaves</a> to try to convert users to paying, legal customers. Searchers on Kazaa were offered a free 30-second sample of songs for which they were searching and directed to sign up for the full-featured Streamwaves service.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>However, Kazaa's new owner, Sharman, was sued in <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles" title="Los Angeles">Los Angeles</a> by the major record labels and motion pictures studios and a class of music publishers. The other defendants in that case (<a href="/wiki/Grokster" title="Grokster">Grokster</a> and MusicCity, makers of the Morpheus file-sharing software) initially prevailed against the plaintiffs on summary judgment (Sharman joined the case too late to take advantage of that ruling). The summary judgment ruling was upheld by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, but was unanimously reversed by the <a href="/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_the_United_States" title="Supreme Court of the United States">US Supreme Court</a> in a decision titled <i><a href="/wiki/MGM_Studios,_Inc._v._Grokster,_Ltd." title="MGM Studios, Inc. v.

Shortly thereafter, on 27 July 2006, it was announced that Sharman had also settled with the record industry and motion picture studios. As part of that settlement, the company agreed to pay $100 million in damages to the four major music companies—Universal Music, <a href="/wiki/Sony_BMG" title="Sony BMG">Sony BMG</a>, EMI and Warner Music—and an undisclosed amount to the studios.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Sharman also agreed to convert Kazaa into a legal music download service.<sup id="cite_ref-BBC_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-BBC-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Like the creators of similar products, Kazaa's owners have been taken to court by music publishing bodies to restrict its use in the sharing of <a href="/wiki/Copyright" title="Copyright">copyrighted</a> material. </p><p>While the U.S. action was still pending, the record industry commenced proceedings against Sharman on its home turf. In February 2004, the <a href="/wiki/Australian_Record_Industry_Association" class="mw-redirect" title="Australian Record Industry Association">Australian Record Industry Association</a> (ARIA) announced its own legal action against Kazaa, alleging massive copyright breaches.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The trial began on 29 November 2004. On 6 February 2005, the homes of two Sharman Networks executives and the offices of Sharman Networks in Australia were raided under a court order by ARIA to gather evidence for the trial. </p><p>On 5 September 2005, the Federal Court of Australia issued a landmark ruling that Sharman, though not itself guilty of copyright infringement, had "authorized" Kazaa users illegally to swap copyrighted songs. The court ruled six defendants—including Kazaa's owners Sharman Networks, Sharman's Sydney-based boss <a href="/wiki/Nikki_Hemming" title="Nikki Hemming">Nikki Hemming</a> and associate <a href="/wiki/Kevin_Bermeister" title="Kevin Bermeister">Kevin Bermeister</a>—had knowingly allowed Kazaa users illegally to swap copyrighted <a href="/wiki/Songs" class="mw-redirect" title="Songs">songs</a>. The company was ordered to modify the software within two months (a ruling enforceable only in Australia). Sharman and the other five parties faced paying millions of dollars in damages to the record labels that instigated the legal action.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>On 5 December 2005, the Federal Court of Australia ceased downloads of Kazaa in Australia after Sharman Networks failed to modify their software by the 5 December deadline. Users with an Australian IP address were greeted with the message "Important Notice: The download of the Kazaa Media Desktop by users in Australia is not permitted" when visiting the Kazaa website. Sharman planned to appeal against the Australian decision, but ultimately settled the case as part of its global settlement with the record labels and studios in the United States.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In yet another set of related cases, in September 2003, the <a href="/wiki/Recording_Industry_Association_of_America" title="Recording Industry Association of America">Recording Industry Association of America</a> (RIAA) filed suit in civil court against several private individuals who had shared large numbers of files with Kazaa;<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> most of these suits were settled with monetary payments averaging $3,000. Sharman Networks responded with a lawsuit against the RIAA, alleging that the terms of use of the network were violated and that unauthorized client software (such as <a class="mw-selflink-fragment" href="#Bundled_malware">Kazaa Lite</a>) was used in the investigation to track down the individual file sharers. An effort to throw out this suit was denied in January 2004. However, that suit was also settled in 2006 (see above). </p><p>Most recently, in Duluth, Minnesota, the recording industry sued <a href="/wiki/Jammie_Thomas" class="mw-redirect" title="Jammie Thomas">Jammie Thomas</a>-Rasset, a 30-year-old single mother. On 5 October 2007, Thomas was ordered to pay the six record companies (<a href="/wiki/Sony_BMG" title="Sony BMG">Sony BMG</a>, Arista Records LLC, <a href="/wiki/Interscope_Records" title="Interscope Records">Interscope Records</a>, UMG Recordings Inc., <a href="/wiki/Capitol_Records_Inc." class="mw-redirect" title="Capitol Records Inc.">Capitol Records Inc.</a> and <a href="/wiki/Warner_Bros._Records_Inc" class="mw-redirect" title="Warner Bros. Records Inc">Warner Bros. Records Inc</a>.) $9,250 for each of the 24 songs they had focused on in this case. She was accused of sharing a total of 1,702 songs through her Kazaa account. Along with attorney fees, this would have cost Thomas half a million dollars. Thomas testified that she does not have a Kazaa account, but her testimony was complicated by the fact that she had replaced her computer's <a href="/wiki/Hard_drive" class="mw-redirect" title="Hard drive">hard drive</a> after the alleged downloading took place, and later than she originally said in a pre-trial <a href="/wiki/Deposition_(law)" title="Deposition (law)">deposition</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Thomas-Rasset appealed the verdict and was given a new trial. In June 2009 that jury awarded the recording industry plaintiffs a judgment of $80,000 per song, or $1.92 million.<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This is less than half of the $150,000 amount authorized by statute.<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The federal court found the award "monstrous and shocking" and reduced it to $54,000. The recording industry offered to accept a settlement of $25,000, with the money going to charities that support musicians. Apparently undaunted, Thomas-Rasset was able to obtain a third trial on the issue of damages. In November 2010 she was again ordered to pay for her violation, this time $62,500 per song, for a total of $1.5 million. Her attorneys raised a challenge to the constitutional validity of massive statutory damages, where actual damages would have been $24.<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> But this challenge was rejected by the supreme court in 2013.
