Trial to Unmask Kazaa Owners

representing the major record labels will name the secretive owners of Sharman Networks, the makers of the Kazaa peer-to-peer software, during a trial in Australia's federal court that began this week.
A music industry insider told Wired News that the investigation of Sharman -- based in Australia but registered in the tax haven of Vanuatu -- has revealed its true owners. The music industry will allege Nikki Hemming, the CEO of Sharman, and Kevin Bermeister, the CEO of Brilliant Digital Entertainment and Altnet, own and control the company.
