R.I.P. Kazaa



"The lengthy Australian court case against P2P file-swapping network Kazaa concluded on Monday (September 5), with the court system ruling the software may no longer be used for illegal music sharing purposes. Though the case was heard in Australia due to it being the home of Kazaa's owners, it affects file sharers world wide."

Well, it looks like another one bites the dust. Kazaa was the next best thing after Napster was shut down in 2001. However, I was never a huge fan of their interface. Plus, that software is to blame for a shitload of adware and spyware. So actually good riddance. Limewire comes the closest in replicating what Napster was, and is therefore the better program to use.

Napster was still the best program to use.
