Kazaa to install anti-piracy tool

An Australian court has told Kazaa’s owners to impose a filtering system so searches for 3,000 keywords do not let users find copyrighted material.

Kazaa is making the changes to win a chance to have an appeal heard on a copyright case it lost in September.

It is unclear whether the keyword list will limit piracy as many file-swappers have now stopped using Kazaa.
