S. Deare, Search terms on Kazaa to be blocked, ZDNet Australia, 25 November 2005

Kazaa users have until 5 December 2005 to share popular works within the range of 3,000 key words provided by the recording industry before an updated version of Kazaa is to be released and adopted by the use of pop up windows. The recording industry had wanted 10,000 key words blocked. Sharman sought to have the deadline extended until March 2006 and had sought to adopt finger printing technology Audible Magic. The recording industry claimed that the technology was unreliable and the Judge agreed.
