Kazaa sues music industry...

In a fascinating turning of the tables, the owner of Kazaa has filed a counter-infringement suit against entertainment studios and record companies. See here. The article is short, but it states that the basis for the counter-suit is that Kazaa "invade[s] users' privacy and send[s] corrupt files and threatening messages." I'm not sure how that amounts to copyright infringement. As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure that 17 USC § 106 (text is below) does not include anything that would support the counter suit.

§ 106.  Exclusive rights in copyrighted works

   (1) to reproduce the copyrighted work in copies or phonorecords;
