Kazaa making a comeback, this time legit

19 July 2009 20:56 by Andre "DVDBack23" Yoskowitz | 8 comments

Kazaa, one of the most notorious P2P software of yesteryear is set to make a comeback in 2009, this time as a legal subscription music service.

Sources speaking to Cnet say the rebirth could happen as soon as August and will turn the once infamous unauthorized downloading hub into a new subscription service with catalogs from the Big 4 labels.

Unlimited downloads will cost $20 USD a month and the store is expected to open with over a million tracks available.

Napster, the original file sharing site to feel the wrath of the record label, reopened as a legal music store in 2003.

Pirate Bay & Kazaa, hi, welcome. I'd like you to meet pay site Napster 2.0. You guys should talk, i think you'll find something very interesting about Napster when they went legit and to a pay site. [ + quote]

20$ a month unlimited is to much, 10-15$ would be better. [ + quote]

I actually miss the FastTrack network. It's too bad Sharman reconfigured it not to work anymore. [ + quote]

*Quote:* Napster, the original file sharing site to feel the wrath of the record label, reopened as a legal music store in 2003. This whole article and the whole point in a nutshell. *Originally posted by ZippyDSM:* 20$ a month unlimited is to much, 10-15$ would be better. Mate regardless of what price they set it would not matter because lower would always be better but they have to start somewhere. [ + quote] This message has been edited since posting.
