A former Romanian software programmer who now works for Microsoft has filed a $25 million lawsuit against peer-to-peer (P2P) leader Sharman Networks, which owns and runs the Kazaa file-sharing utility that the man, Fabian Toader, claims is his work. Toader, who worked on a freelance basis for Kazaa from Romania four years ago, claims he never signed any agreement with the company, which was purchased by Sharman in early 2002. Through a suit filed in Los Angeles earlier this month, he is asking for damages of $25 million.
