Record industry raids Kazaa offices

Feb 6, 2004 2:11AM PST

The Australian record industry raided the offices of music internet group Kazaa as part of legal action aimed at shutting down the popular site.

Kazaa is the world's largest file sharing network, and is owned and distributed in Australia by Sharman Networks.

The Federal Court on Thursday granted the music industry's anti-piracy unit, Music Industry Piracy Investigations (MIPI), permission to raid 12 premises in three different states.
