p2pnet.net News:- Nikki Hemming seems to be a key player. But on whose behalf is she playing?

That’s what Judge Murray Wilcox wants to know, as does Big Music.

Under discussions is Sharman Networks, owner of the ill-fated p2p file sharing service Kazaa. Sharman is battling copyright infringement allegations in Australia.
