    If any of you have been to any of the 'official' KaZaA Lite sites lately, you'll notice that they have been shut down. This is because KaZaA has taken legal action against the creators of KaZaA Lite. KaZaA was not happy at the copy of their software being add free as KaZaA now offers 'KaZaA Plus' a version of KaZaA that costs $29.99 US to download. Although they can't do anything about anyone using Lite because its just an application to access the file transfer server, if you have a version of KaZaA Lite and you would like to keep it, I highly suggest burning it because it's been pretty much wiped right off the internet ;)

    [Edit] D'OH! Sorry, I meant to post this in Kick Back Cafe, sorry about that >_<

    If they just made Kazaa ad-free in the first place, they wouldn't have to worry about it. Ugh.

    its not a centralized network of servers like napster was. once they shut napster down, they shut napster down. for kazaa, all you need is the program to create a direct connection between 2 or more people. there's no uploading to a server for other people to download from.

    A company bought it out (I think Roxio).

    It's a pay-download company now, though.

    I see someone is a little upset now that they can't rip off their favorite artist without being bombarded by ads.
