P2P is great for finding single songs if you use the right program so no it's not just for kids or noobs. bittorent is good for movies games full cd's or any larger files.

Agreed!

I'm happy about this. Kazaa wasn't a good P2P program anyway. It was full of adware and a trouble on the system. It offered no more than pure junk.

I can't disagree with agaddict8 that lime pro is the way to go, i've used it for the past year and it's filtering works well against false files etc ,the only pain is the odd song sometimes have the wrong artist written into the title,as for the noddy that said use frostwire pfffft,frostwire is limewire the diff being is it's open source and has no decent filtering so you end up with a lot of crap files going lime pro is best,tho now with the kazaa settlement out of the way how long morpheous and lime last is anybody's guess

frostwire is made by the guys at limewire

I never thought that Kazza would go legit. I mean they I dont know how they got this cash.

$100million?! where is this money going to? The MPAA and the IFPI no doubt.

I see why they are doing this; many people are switching off Kazaa with torrents and different p2p apps. But how many people will switch if they are using Kazaa at the moment? NONE! They will switch to Shareaza or LimeWire or something similar...

Some people will use it as it might be cheaper and not have DRM like iTunes or something but still...

Also were the hell did they get $100million?

If you ask me piracy needs the balance; if there wasn't people trying to stop it everyone would do it and it would seriously damage the industry but if no-one did any piracy then it would also cause all sort of problems.

The 'industry' think they're stopping (or even slowing) something with these tactics.

They aren't.

Ever since analogue cassette tape recording became a mass-market item they've been bleating about this 'copying is killing music' idiotic nonsense.
It's a self-serving lie.
They delude themselves that all that copied stuff = a lost sale, another lie, or that 'intellectual property' is exactly the same as any other 'property', yet another ridiculous lie.

They deny all and any concepts of 'fair use' and end up in this mess because of it (I suppose it keeps the lawyers happy).
But when I've paid for my British TV licence, or my Sky (so I am contributing financially to 'the industry') or bought my CD or DVD or game they can get stuffed telling me what I can or can't copy to keep.

Perhaps if they'd produce better goods (the anti-scratch coatings on their discs are pathetic and practically beg us to 'pirate' a replacement) or make 'legal' downloads available at a sane price (the current situation of paying almost the price of a rental is laughable considering 'we' have all the over-head costs and they so few) things might change.
No sign of it yet though.

As has been pointed out 'the artists' (if such individuals really exist anymore) will see a small fraction of nothing of this money.

......and one last thing, I've yet to meet the artist that didn't want their art distributed as widely as possible.

WELL THIS SUCKS! i wonder how much they'll have to pay per song...

I used to use kazaa,that was the first illigal thing i did on my pc which i got about 6 years ago wow,thats a long time....who cares limewire pro12 pawns all

Yeah, have to agree with most here that Kazaa has been dead for some time( even before the foney files containing white noise). I do find it interesting that no one has said anything about edonkey, which by the way is a p2p app and still serves a purpose. Usually i just use bittorrent, but for old torrents that have all but gone dead, i use edonkey. It's slow, but it will find almost anything when connected to the right servers. It also has a raiting system so if there are bargage files 9 times out of 10 youll know before its finished downloading.

Bottomline- seeing kazaa go kind of reminds me of that old riddle about the tree in the woods, the answer is irrelevant if im not interested in knowing.

Oh, well. Another one gives in

LOL. Kazaa. There's a blast from my past.

If Kazza was a free file sharing program and I don't recall any advertising on there, where did they come up with $100 million??

How did they got 100 million to give away??

^^^^^^^^^^ Ignorance is bliss.


Anyone that pays attention knows they dont have a $100 million dollars, they were FINED to pay that much. What happens when you dont have that much money like every other company that clocks massive fines like this?

They claim BANKRUPTCY, Thus no money to pay, company closes, they sell off and move there assets before they claim it of course, and start new under a new
name.

Its a pretty dam common practice when shit like this happens of other reasons like money owing to other companys personal etc... Just this one managed to make the papers.

just came across this article and found it quite amusing. It never ceases to amaze me what the RIAA would do to make a few quick bucks:

http://www.randomspot.com/2006/07/29/124/

i find it interesting that people are taking the opinion 'who cares about kazaa'. what where you using at the time napster official ended? probly kazaa ide guess

napster and kazaa served a perpose of being the big ilegal music industry destroyer while ever one with half a clue found a new program

the question is whats it gona be next?
everyone i know users limewire thats a bad sign

nice to talk to some sane people on the internet

well I can see what they are saying , but yes I remember the white noise and dial up sound songs, thats why I got rid of that crap.

They will never kill filesharing. Its that simple.

The reported $100 million settlement figure by Kazaa to the big 4 record labels is almost certainly a phoney. It's been rigged to make it appear the music
industry has had a win. In return Kazaa (who pay nothing) get to go legitimate, something they've been working towards for the past 12 months. And they'll go broke! Who's going to pay for inferior *.mp3 format files when you can get them for free elsewhere?
Who's going to use a program the riddles the PC with spyware? Where Napster is now (i.e. nowhere) is where
Kazaa will be in 6 months time.

Is limewire pro legal?

Kazaa pays 100 million and goes under.


gee I see a trend here...LOL


P2P is dead,however limewire and Edonkey are still worth fooling with.


p.s:most stoped useign Kazaa 2 or 3 years ago when the lite version become add/spy ware riddled 0_o

*pokepoke*
:P

Kazaa Lite Ressurection was pretty good but torrents are the way to go.

I eat liquid poo...i also pay for all my audio cd's...
