![]() No one understands that better than Zennstrom, 36, and his 26-year-old partner, Janus Friis. The beauty (or menace, depending on which side you're on) of the P2P networks is that they've taken on a life of their own. ![]() ![]() That, of course, isn't very likely to happen. Niklas Zennstrom, one of the two creators of Kazaa, says that the only way the system can be shut down is if every user elected to disable his program. Napster operated with central servers that tracked and controlled the transfer of files between users, but Kazaa, Grokster, and Morpheus are completely decentralized. What's more, even if there were a court order to shut down the networks, it may be impossible to do so. Thus the legal question becomes: If you can't control or see illegal activity, how can you be liable for it? In a memo leaked last December, the RIAA's legal team acknowledged that its claims against Kazaa, Grokster, and Morpheus "are not as strong as those against Napster." ![]() (All three deny the charges.) But those entities don't run their networks the way, say, Sony does its record label they have little control over what they created and can't tell who's downloading what file, whether it's an Eminem song or Grandma's recipe for blueberry pie. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), representing eight record labels, and the Motion Picture Association, working on behalf of 19 movie studios, are suing the companies that own Kazaa, Grokster, and Morpheus-Sharman Networks, Grokster, and StreamCast Networks, respectively. Kazaa, Grokster, and Morpheus work much the same way Napster did, but they're technologically smarter and, in a legal sense, a lot more amorphous. Only this time the outlaw networks may not be so easy to shut down.
