[b]Sharman Networks[/b], the owner and distributor of the [i]Kazaa[/i] peer-to-peer network, argued its case in court on Friday. The company went before the [i]Federal Court of Australia[/i] to argue against charges brought by [i]Music Industry Piracy Investigations[/i], a subsidiary of the [i]Australian Recording Industry Association[/i].
[blockquote]On February 6, the court granted MIPI an Anton Pillar order, which is often used in software piracy cases, against the owner of the Kazaa network, allowing for the search of Sharman Networks' offices. An Anton Pillar order gives an applicant the right to raid, without notice, the premises of the respondent and seize documentary or other evidence.
