Score another one for the record industry.

The Australian record industry celebrated a win against online music-swapping service Kazaa today, in a long-running court battle watched by the global music industry.

Kazaa's owners would have to apply "maximum pressure" on existing users to upgrade their software to the new, filtered version.
