The music and motion picture industries sued Kazaa, along with Grokster and Morpheus, in 2001, contending that they assisted in illegally distributing copyrighted material. Kazaa, which is run by Sharman Networks in Australia, settled the lawsuits by the recording artists and the movie studios in July, agreeing to pay at least $115 million.

I edit fuh lo:
Kazaa, the file sharing network that record companies have been battling for years, has tentatively resolved the last of the major lawsuits that were hanging over its head. Under the settlement with the National Music Publishers’ Association, Kazaa agreed to pay music publishers and songwriters a “substantial sum,” the association said. Though the exact terms of the deal remain confidential, a person with knowledge of the agreement said the amount was about $10 million.
