KaZaA ordered to stop by Dutch court...

/iacess used our newssubmit to tell us:

A Dutch court on Thursday ordered file-swapping software maker KaZaA to prevent people using its product from engaging in copyright infringement or face thousands of dollars in fines...

"We don't know how the judge wants us to stop copyright infringement," Kazaa attorney Christiaan Alberdinck Thijm told CNET News.com's affiliate in the Netherlands on Thursday. "We feel as if the judge didn't put much time and effort into this part of the verdict."

The court's decision comes in a suit brought by Dutch copyright organization Buma/Stemra, which has been in on-and-off licensing negotiations with Kazaa. The software maker has counter-sued, charging Buma/Stemra with antitrust violations for refusing to negotiate.

I would like to know how the court suggests KaZaA stops the copyright infringement... Can it be stopped at all? I doubt it..
