  8. Who installed Kazza Media Desktop??? on Court Docs Reveal Kazaa Logging User Downloads · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Seriously only internet newbies, grandmas & grandpas installed the Kazza Media Desktop. All other installed Kazza Lite (No Adware!) or eDonkey.

    Later all eDonkey users switched to Overnet and later on to eMule and BitTorrent

    An open source P2P application is more safe in use than a closed source application because clever people can read and understand the code.

    Oh I forgot:
    1) Idea
    2-6) see above
    7) ???
    8) No Profit
    9) Sued by RIAA/MPAA...
