Music industry tailed Sharman(KaZaa) boss...

Quote:


	The music industry's piracy investigations unit conducted extensive surveillance of the Sydney north shore house owned by the chief executive officer of peer-to-peer provider Sharman Networks, its former boss told a court hearing last week. Michael Speck told a Federal Court hearing on Tuesday that Music Industry Piracy Investigations (MIPI) had been "tailing" Nikki Hemming's premises on a "continuous basis" for several months until 11am on 24 May. The unit conducted the surveillance as part of its efforts to determine who controlled the peer-to-peer software Kazaa. The issue is key to the music industry's litigation against Sharman Networks, associated companies and individuals over alleged copyright-infringing behaviour.

pretty soon they'll set up a DEA for p2p networks, and they'll have robotic dogs sniffing out "users"
