- LycoLoco, on 10/12/2007, -1/+49Because, ya know, it has worked SO well for Napster...
- chaosmachine, on 10/12/2007, -1/+43people still use kazaa?
- alpha7q, on 10/12/2007, -9/+34O_O

I think my name could be between South Korea and Russia. - akira117, on 10/12/2007, -3/+24What's "Kazaa"?
Isn't that were people get low quality music and viruses?
(torrentspy.com) - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20Heh, you get modded up just for the word 'tubes'. With the question mark, it kinda looks like you want someone to make a tubes joke, so here it is:
This is exactly the kind of rubbish which is overfilling the interweb tubes. We can't keep dumping music and 10 videos on this Internet, it's not a big truck... - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20"my thought exactly"
That's why there's a thumbs up button. : ) - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15Because if you're American everyone hates you.
- LycoLoco, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15Yes, and day after day, I'm cleaning spyware off their computers for $10/hour.

And why again are they suing us?? - Zanneth, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Good riddance. BitTorrent FTW.
- JFetch, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Last time I used Kazza, about a year ago, they were already selling music. The problem was it was crap that nobody liked.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7@lokust
Not much different from the one file sharer that has the file you want going offline during a download and never coming back with it. - timtastic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Wish they had some more info on exactly HOW they are going to sell music. If it will still use P2P then this news is exciting, but if it's just another iTunes or Napster then it's lame.
- buss, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5So they settled for $100 million for an estimated 20 billion tracks...that's $0.005 per song. If songs were actually that cheap maybe more people would buy them.
- Bigbro69, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Believe it or not, 'Eric', you don't have to sign EVERY SINGLE COMMENT. It gets annoying after a while reading them. :)
- coherent, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5I can't believe this is being lauded as a success. Any one with even a drop of technical knowledge has been using decentralized torrents for years. Get a grip you money grubbing fascists, as long as there are more of us than you OUR rules apply.
This is a victory, this is just another step in evolution. - djdole, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Last I checked, Kazaa WAS a legal service...
It was just their ad-ware and the content users shared that was of questionable legality. - cartwheels, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4@ EquinnoxX
Whut? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4@ akira117
Oh come on, let's not be stingy...

- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Kazaa?
Ah yes... The good 'ol days.....
Then torrents took over. - grayapple, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5:''< I'm gona listen to emo and cut myself now.
- zbeast, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Kazaa goes down and the world shrugs.
Every since they baned third party clients from the service.
I've not used that network.
The main kazaa client would install malware on your computer so why use it?
If there going "legit" well it time to quit.
Because there's just not enough market out there to keep another half-ass pay music service afloat.
Normally I would be all crazy and crap about p2p service being taken out.
but with kazaa all I can say is about time. - Coffeedemon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3A sort of shame but I jumped ship after even kazaa lite was full of spyware and virii.
Now soulseek ... may you live forever. - misa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Great, now you get to pay for your spyware.
- theantidote, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Free ad-supported music leeched from AllofMp3.com? That would be sweet. I would find a crap machine and just use it to get free, semi-legal music. Then transfer it all over to the real machine.
- Computer_Kid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3So you can get music, and spyware!
- hrdcregmer808, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4the worst p2p software just becomes legal.....
- Danryan1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Aren't they still paying off a massive law suit?
Seems like any money they make off this would just go right back to the record industry. - DubbedOver, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4shhhhh please don't get my slsk taken away!
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2There are still people using Kazaa? Kazaa passed it's prime like 4 years ago. We've all seen how well iMesh, Peer Impact, and the as of yet to unreleased Mashboxx are doing as legit services. Unless they can offer user something iTunes and Napster can't people likely won't use them (at least not a lot of people).
- ninjathis, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3what I joke
Kazaa is crap - TKDWILSON, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5I don't like this one bit. K++ is going to have a major smaller network now. I rarely use it anyway, but it was always nice to have available for obscure video clips and such I can't find on youtube or torrents. That is pretty much all it became useful for. Music just use the web and movies torrents.
""""Nah, pirate bay will be shut down for good by the end of the summer. mark my words.""""
Want to bet on that. - Recluse, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@xelloss
Cause american companies have the money to do so? - Coffeedemon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I was under the impression that they are not within the US so they're under the radar... maybe I'm wrong though
- AdamKoRn27, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I only use clients that even I haven't heard of yet.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2kazza is just the program for the fast track network, beter to use
http://gift-fasttrack.berlios.de/
its a fast track plug in for kceasy
http://www.kceasy.com/
which is open source free p2p program, kicks ass - killerofkiller, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2 private torrent sites are the way to go*oink.me.uk*.. but if i have to use a basic p2p program.. it is ares..
- misa, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2WinMX went down about a year ago.
- Agret, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1cause they don't like Aussies :(
- rayana, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2i liked kazaa... what happened to winmx? or am i way behind times? ^ haven't subscribed to isp for 3 years...
- compu73rg33k, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2as if people needed a reason to not use it haha.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Limewire is opensource so even if they get shutdown the people who have that source can use it if they please. Also it's not like the network will cease to function if Limewire, the company, gets shutdown cause Gnutella is an open protocol.
- Bigbro69, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Except ironically, it's banned in Australia.
- Agret, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"have fun on your slow as hell torrents raping your bandwith 24/7"
Sounds like someone is on a public trackers..
Torrents always max my download bandwidth :D - Agret, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Don't worry, they won't go after Soulseek,. They only go after networks with content on them. Soulseek is one of the most useless p2p apps around. Get DC++
- Agret, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Kazaa is ran by Sharman Networks, an Australian company...
