Reported by Reuters and spotted on Slashdot, a Dutch appellate court in Amsterdam has overturned an injunction barring distribution of the KaZaA peer-to-peer file sharing software.

"We are stunned by the verdict,'' a Buma Stemra spokesman in the Netherlands said, adding the organization could appeal further to the High Court. But Niklas Zennstrom, the Swedish founder of Netherlands-based KaZaA and its technology provider Fasttrack, heralded the decision as "a great victory for our company and for the whole technology sector.''

As the quote says, there's still chance for this decision to be overturned by the Dutch High Court, and you can bet that the media companies will pursue every means possible. Of course, the decision does little to bring back KaZaA, as they have already shut down operations and sold the technology to another vendor. However, it does mark a very significant decision made in the ongoing battle of copyright holders versus consumers.
