The world's major music and film companies have settled a lawsuit against one of the largest unauthorized peer-to-peer networks, Kazaa, entertainment industry representatives announced today.
Under the terms of the settlement, Kazaa will introduce filtering technologies to ensure that users can no longer share copyrighted music, film or software files. Sharman will also pay $115 million to the recording industry, according to sources familiar with the negotiations. Future payments to the film and software industries may be forthcoming.
