According to Australian ZDnet, Roderick Dorman, US-based legal counsel for Sharman Networks (aka KaZaA) warns representing copyright holders such as Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studios that their claims may be in vain, given the vagaries of international copyright law. "Before a US judgement can be enforced against any company in Australia -- the plaintiffs have to establish whether or not the US-courts have any jurisdiction in Australia," Dorman said. "In many respects this lawsuit represents a fool's errand... Copyright material can be distributed on the Internet in such a way that copyright holders can be reimbursed. Sharman is always willing to talk the moment the industry decides to work with them."
