Zeropaid's sum-up of the latest developments:
RIAA Unable to Locate FastTrack Creators

Zeropaid:

- FastTrack Creators Niklas Zennstrom and Jacob Friis who also 'operate' the FastTrack protocol have become 'untraceable' in Europe. They recently were added to those been sued in the case. However, US Courts have been unable to locate them in Europe.

- The RIAA have launched a case in Estonia related to the underlining FastTrack technology. Apparently the code was last seen in Estonia. Those been questioned in Estonia claim that they no longer have the code. The Estonian is refusing to say who now has the code.

- Roderick G. Dorman is representing Sharman Networks in the case. Their main line of argument is that a US Court has no right to tell an Australian company how to do it's business.

- The case against KaZaA in the Netherlands which KaZaA won in a lower court has now reached the Dutch supreme court. The Dutch copyright authorities have the case on appeal.

- Arguments are scheduled for Nov. 18.
