201919 2003-12-20 09:19:00 Attempts by the record industry to fight music piracy on the internet have suffered a double setback .

A US court said that the recording industry's methods to find music swappers are not allowed by the law .

In a separate ruling, the Dutch Supreme Court decided that the popular file-sharing program, Kazaa, is not breaking the law

The rulings are a blow to the record industry, which is trying to stop the illegal sharing of music online .

The music industry says the widespread copying of music over the internet is partly to blame for a drop in CD sales worldwide .

It has turned to the courts to try to stop people downloading music for free over the internet
