		Jaan Kirsipuu of Estonia waves on the podium wearing the overall leader's yellow jersey he took after finishing second in the second stage of the Tour de France cycling race between Challans and Saint-Nazaire, western France, Monday, July 5, 1999.

		We had no idea it would take off like this," said Tallinn, who remembers being so unsure about the software's future that he demanded cash upfront rather than the stock and other compensation dependent on the product's success.The programmers insist they did not set out to help people trade music and movies illegally.
		He and Tallinn both say that the case has no merit, and that recent European case law is on their side.

		Jaan Tallinn, Ahti Heinla and Priit Kasesalu are the creators of Kazaa.
		Tallinn, the quiet leader of the group; Ahti, the adventurer who is fond of disappearing for months in exotic places like Nepal; and Priit, the computer gamer who spends nearly all of his work and non-work time writing programs, met during their college years and decided to start a small software coding shop.
		Tallinn City Judge Aase Sammelselg rejected the U.S. request on grounds that it was drafted so vaguely that it might cause the programmers to reveal business secrets and was "not in conformity with the Estonian laws."

	ELM. No 10. Jaan Kross — 80
		Incidentally, Powell was in Tallinn for one weekend during the 1930s, before the Grand Hotel was burnt to the ground in the bombings a decade later.
		It is scandalous that, in for instance the 1930s, there were so many gullible so-called educated people, or members of the intelligentsia in the West, who were quite prepared to believe what they wished to, rather than what they could see with their own eyes.
		I look at Ellen and Jaan in awe, the two halves, the one whole, and I remember the most pleasant moments for a translator: co-operating with the author in the final stage of translation.

		According to Jaan Tallinn, one of the trio behind the stratospherically popular Kazaa peer-to-peer file-sharing software, this has something to do with geographical remoteness and an innate self-reliance: 'We come across as more introverted, yet persistent and systematic.'
		Estonia is the northernmost of the acceding countries and has more in common with the Scandinavian countries than the other Baltic states, Latvia and Lithuania.
		The 'singing' revolution, which contributed significantly to the downfall of the Soviet empire, began in 1988, when 300,000 Estonians gathered in Tallinn to sing national songs played by rock musicians.

		TALLINN - Every 100th person in the world uses Skype to make free calls over the Internet, but few people know that several young Estonian men are behind the innovative technology that has radically shaken up the communications world.
		The acquisition of Skype Technologies SA by eBay for about $2.6 billion may be more significant to the Estonian economy than Swedbank’s recent takeover of Hansabank, valued at $5.6 billion at the time of the acquisition, Martinson wrote.

		A U.S. court, for instance, recently tried to force the Estonians to give depositions in a case naming KaZaA—but a Tallinn judge ruled that the request was far too vague and that they didn’t have to comply.

	SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Technology -- Kazaa's designers craft peer-to-peer Internet telephony services
		TALLINN, Estonia – The software developers who wrote file-swapping legend Kazaa are taking the concept of peer-to-peer sharing to telecommunications, launching an Internet phone service they claim could put traditional phone companies out of business.
		Although they denied any wrongdoing, they sold Kazaa to an Australian company in 2002 after coming under intense legal pressure from the entertainment industry, which accused Kazaa of facilitating the theft of millions of copyright songs and videos.
		Estonian programmers Ahti Heinla, Priit Kasesalu and Jaan Tallinn – who took the lead in writing Kazaa – also did the bulk of the work on Skype, said Zennstrom, who is Swedish and maintains offices in both Stockholm and in Tallinn, Estonia's capital.
