Kazaa Continues to Evolve

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Monday September 23, 2002 @03:02AM from the gotta-make-some-money dept.

Zephy writes "The New York Times (free registration etc.. ) has an article about a new partnership between Kazaa, and Tiscali, the European internet access provider. Seems that Kazaa will carry ads for Tiscali's broadband services in return for a cash 'bounty' when a user signs up for broadband. To quote the article, 'This gives legitimacy to KaZaA.' Also, Cnet has an article about the new Kazaa version which has features designed to help users avoid corrupt or wrong files such as those spread around p2p by the MP/RIAA."

To quote the article, 'This gives legitimacy to KaZaA.'
Yes, and to quote the KaZaA CEO:
"Arrr, me harties! This be giving us legitimacy! We sail for New Orleans, with our bounty of broadband gold and pirrrrated MP3s!"
Just because you're the King of Spain's privateering vessel doesn't mean you don't have a peg-leg and a parrot. Get me?
