We reported that Kazaa was given a deadline to either implement filters by December 5th, or shut down. Now Sharman Networks, Kazaa's owner, has announced that the deadline has been extended to late February next year. The deadline was given after a September ruling that found Kazaa users had broken the law and now Sharman needs to alter the code of Kazaa to prevent copyright infringement in the future.
In the earlier article we published, we have gone through the history of the Kazaa vs. Music Industry Piracy Investigations (MIPI) case in more detail. If you are interested the events that lead to this order, then read the previous news article here.
