Kazaa Lite dead - Kazaa complains about copyright issues
How ironic:
Today, the Kazaa Lite K++ project has been shut down by Sharman Networks on grounds of copyright infringement. The project, which had been set up to block spy and ad ware within the Kazaa Media Desktop Program has achieved notoriety within the P2p world through its simplistic approach and success in reverse engineering the Kazaa application. However, the program infringed on the copyright of Sharman Networks, the company that now own and program the Kazaa Media Desktop application, after the purchase of the code and copyright in 2002. The FastTrack (Kazaa) network is financed through advertising systems, which Kazaa Lite K++ does not include, and so was seen as a threat by the owners. Sharman have threatened legal action, and ordered that the offending content be removed from the official Kazaa Lite sites, including http://www.kazaalite.tk/ which now contains no reference to the existance of the application. |

Maybe Vanuatu-based (I am sure they have it really warm there right now) Sharman is out of money to pay its legal costs against RIAA

As far as I understand it, the application is no longer available...but if you already had it, then you can continue to use it.
Is that incorrect? |

Ok, it seems Kazaa Lite is not entirely dead!
It was taken over by a new developer group who basically gives a f**k on what Sharman Networks says. You can get the latest version (KazaaKLChat1rc1.exe) on the irc.klchat.net network in channel #KLChat! |

I heard somewhere that the newest version of Kazaa Lite is filled with spyware. Is this true or am I just hearing voices in my head...again?
