Kazaa Still Kicking, Brings HD Video to the Pre?

mobilecrunch.com — Seriously, we're just as surprised as you are. Not only is Kazaa somehow still in business, they've set their sights on bringing HD movie downloads to the masses (well, the masses that use Kazaa), and the Pre is where they’ve decided to make their stand.

  • Bartboy919, on 07/08/2009, -0/+55I thought Kazaa got sued out of existence.
  • Aeroboy, on 07/08/2009, -0/+47Kazaa sucks anyway.
  • buddamus, on 07/08/2009, -0/+46I still remember using the hacked version K++, it was so much better
  • zbeast, on 07/08/2009, -0/+31The Kazaa that people liked is long dead.. this is just a digital store trying to sell you drm'ed content making use of the kazaa name.
    Just say no. If you want free content. Use emlue, limewire, torrents.
    If you want pay content Use itunes, netflix, amazon.com.
    Give a pass to these junk site's let them fade in to oblivion.
  • loneraver, on 07/08/2009, -0/+23wait what? Kazaa still exists? What year is it? 2002!!! I gotta get back, back to the future!

  • donjo, on 07/08/2009, -1/+10I was in a lecture today and I noticed the girl in front of me had a Limewire icon on her desktop, I had a similar reaction.
  • astorygirl, on 07/07/2009, -1/+9It all sounds pretty weird: "It’s rare to come across a press release where they manage to spell the service’s name wrong, and they blithely throw in what you could only loosely call a testimonial by a “web hacker” who may or may not have died last year."
  • virtualmachine, on 07/08/2009, -0/+8So what is that...for all 6 kazaa users?
  • DRT23, on 07/08/2009, -0/+8K-lite ftw...or was.

  • unrealmp3, on 07/08/2009, -0/+6And get some malware at the same time.
  • iansh, on 07/08/2009, -0/+6And what's with them trying to put HD video on a cell phone? I guess the term "HD" has just degraded into a marketing gimmick to sell ***** products.
  • harris2004, on 07/08/2009, -0/+5Kazaa, Now thats a name from the old era.
  • dshPls, on 07/08/2009, -0/+3Why not use a torrent? I can't think of any reason not to.
  • DarkShroud, on 07/08/2009, -0/+3Zune HD users with HDMI out.
  • inactive, on 07/08/2009, -0/+2Thats not what your mother said last night Trebeck!

  • ostracize, on 07/08/2009, -0/+2;) == /s

    I swear the digg community has a serious mental deficiency sometimes. Do I need to circle the funny parts?
  • andrewlotta, on 07/08/2009, -0/+2Can't deny they know how to pack a helluva malware punch into their software.
  • dshPls, on 07/08/2009, -1/+3Remember Morpheus? Those were the days :)

  • ThirdPrize, on 07/08/2009, -0/+1Five years time and there will be a story like this with "Pirate Bay" in the title.
