Settlement Paid out By Kazaa & Skype
Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis, the billionaire Internet entrepreneurs who created Kazaa and Skype, have reached into their own pockets to help settle a lawsuit brought by the music and movie industries.
Australia’s Sharman Networks, the lead defendant in a lawsuit by the movie and music industries which was settled on Thursday, confirmed that Zennstrom and Friis contributed to a payout of well above $100 million.
“They are one of the parties contributing to the settlement figure,” a Sharman spokeswoman said in an e-mail. “(I) cannot say any more other than that the settlement costs are being shared amongst all settling parties.”

I heard that former distributers and customers of seasilver are getting a refund. I was a distributer under David Fisk for several years. If I am eligible, I would like a refund.
