StreamCast also alleged that peer-to-peer company Kazaa BV, the brainchild of Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis who also founded Skype, sold its FastTrack P2P technology to another company and thereby violating StreamCast’s exclusive rights to FastTrack P2P.
StreamCast reckons that by selling FastTrack in secret, Zennstrom and Friis denied StreamCast the right to try to stop the deal. StreamCast also alleges that the pair shuttered its Morpheus network and lured its customers to Kazaa with a software migration tool.
And Skype uses FastTrack to transfer VoIP calls, StreamCast alleged.
Los Angeles, California-based StreamCast is seeking to gain control of FastTrack, as well as damages from the other defendants.
