Artists come out in support of Kazaa judgement
September 22
We welcome the decision of the Federal Court of Australia that ripping off our music and sharing it on the internet for profit is wrong.
The court has ruled that the Kazaa internet file-sharing site infringes copyright with its free music downloads.
The judgment justifies the fight to protect our property and the work of all artists who want to make a living from creating music.
We can now look forward to a fairer environment where all those who work to create a piece of music are rewarded for their effort.
