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."

Kazaa's rating feature won't help... by Anonymous Coward · 2002-09-23 03:12 · Score: 0, Redundant

The whole problem is that there are companies that, for a price, will flood kazaa with bogus files. What's to keep them from flooding it with bogus ratings too? There may be more legit users than bogus ones, but if the company is determined enough then this measure won't accomplish much, though I do hope it does.

Try WinMX, and don't whine on /. about your crappy luck.
