View Full Version : Kazza is screwed.
Looks like its going to go the way of Napster folks...but their not going without a fight.

Yeah, and since KaZaa and Morpheus are sister companies and share some of the same data bases, SPAMwill KaZaa just shift all it's searches over to Morpheus ?
The KaZaa order was from a Dutch court and Morpheus is an American Co, seems like things may get complicated and MP3's and other file sharing is most likely to continue- regardless.
Just my opinion.

Kaza should just shut down operations and move to another country. SPAMOr they should de-centralized their authenication servers so it can never be shut down.
Yeah I agree that file sharing is gong to continue no matter what.
There is too many programs already out there and of course there is always new ones coming out every week. SPAMAnd alot of the programs are not for profit type things.
Indeed head on over to sourceforge.net and I can guarentee you that you will find quite afew file sharing projects underway.....all open source of course.

Even if they are all shut down everyone will head back to the old days of getting your mp3s off of irc.

yeah, irc is the only thing they'll never be able to shut down
yeah IRC is unstopable.....it could also be argued that FTP servers are the same.
Although proggies like KaZZa do make it easyer to find hat you want.
All this reminds me of the 'used CD ' stores when they first started up across the country. They were sued left and right probally by the same bunch now sueing KaZaa, napster and others.
Old Garth Brooks spent 3 million dollars $ of his own money sueing them. He thought no one would ever buy another one of his CD's. Well, he lost, used CD stores are now everywhere and serve a good purpose. Same as yard sales- flea markets etc .
Remember when Napster was first sued, a backlash flared up and CD sales of certain artist involved with the sueing were boycotted.

I know the interface is almost totally similar, Maybe kazaa was smelling it's demise and decided to give it's source over to someone else?
Last i heard they had moved here to Australia ???

yup kazaa is definately going under. SPAMThey were bought out and moved to australia. SPAMThey were bought out by Sharman. they actually kicked morhpeus off of the network. Morpheus had like 60% of the users that were on that network. SPAMKazaa tried to get some of morpheus' users by releasing a software that autmatically converts morpheus users to kazaa without them knowing. KAZAA IS AS EVIL AS MICROSOFT, not as rich though hahahaha. :P
