News.com reports that :

Sharman Networks has cut off Australians’ access to the Web site from which the file-swapping software Kazaa can be downloaded.

The shutdown, undertaken to comply with orders from Australia’s Federal Court, took effect late Monday in Australia. While people with an Australian IP address who have already downloaded Kazaa can continue to use it, Sharman is warning them not to do so…

The Kazaa Web site is expected to remain off-limits to Australians at least until a decision is made in the appeal from Sharman and associated parties. The appeal is due to be heard in February.

UPDATE 8 December: The Australian reports that  the music industry says that Sharman is in breach of the court order to include keyword filters in its file sharing software.
