Court Rules Against Kazaa
An Australian court has ruled against Sharman Networks, creators of the wildly popular Kazaa, a file sharing software. The court said that while Sharman didn't itself break copyright laws, it did encourage users to do so with its web site prompting users to "Join the Revolution".
Ok fine, but then shouldn't there also be culpability for those who:
Make motor vehicles that can go faster than the legal speed limit and then promote and glorify the same?
Make musical lyrics promoting or glorifying illegal activities
Have products promoted deliberately to children, knowing that the average parent can't or won't say no to them. No product should be promoted to a market under the age of reason.
Market weapons, whose users then go out and kill illegally
Air advertisements aimed at adults but aired at times when young or underage viewers may be watching or listening?
Make movies showing dangerous activities that should either not be tried by anyone or at least not be tried by anyone but trained professionals, then offering no warnings or disclaimers.
Run for office on a particular platform and then reneg after being elected
Make "copy" machines and cameras, whose very purpose is to "copy" something or archive it.
