Is It True That Kazaa Lite...

[wenze1]

kazaa lite is going to die ..is that true ....

DOUBT IT!!! :beerchug:

[camille]

That's a rumor monger!

I can't see how K-Lite can die, the way for that to happen would be for all the users to stop using it. Fat chance I think.

As long a people want to use it, it will survive.

I am a relative newcomer with very few posts....but some recent events have lent me hope.

A recent ruling in the Netherlands? Dutch?..sorry the article isnt in front of me right now..supreme court says that a peer to peer software provider can't be held responsible for what it's clients actually use the software for. This aids Sharman more then others but it helps out all P2P providers.

Also:In the US,not sure which state..A state court disallowed a search order by the RIAA to aquire a ip address of one of the internet providers customers....said it was an invasion of privacy..if this goes to the supreme court and is upheld..the the RIAA is screwed....

I believe that as long as we can use the Fasttrack clients and continue to share then we should keep it going.....when Sharman makes the update that keeps Klite from accessing Fasttrack the it will die unless someone can release a new version that lets us use Fasttrack...I share mostly pics some movies...nothing recent tho..older stuff...altho i have turned off the see entire shared file thing tab which i understand can make it look like you are not sharing....but I am.

The above is true, but I might wanna add to it that DOWNLOADING (wahtever) is tolerated in Canada, but upload is illegal, but it does not mean that we can't share few files that are not cra#ks and harks. I mostly share freeware and files made by myself.

As long as K-lite works on my computer I'm not going to stop using it, therefore it isn't dead. I'm sure there are 1000's of others that won't stop using it either as long as it works.

Even if updates and developments by the original creator have ceased, it appears that others have already taken it up in different ways now that they know it can be done.

I'm like most of you here !

I don't want Kazaa Lite to die, and see no reason why it should.

There seem to be enough versions and programmers around, and as long as we all keep using it.....

But remember someone has to host the site ! (and that costs money &#33

And If I had access to Pay Pal I owuldcertianly donate a few dollars.

I don't think it will die. Who in their right mind would pay for something you can get for free. There are probably only like 10 people who actually pay for the newer Kazaa in the first place. Most people most likely use k-lite.

Ok then I guess its time to bring it back...

Kazaa - Farewell, KaZaa - What For?

KaZaA Lite and Fast Track network probably won't die. But because of fake files it's dying. More advanced networks like Overnet or Ed2k are taking the leader position from Fast Track. Everyday there are more users of Ed2k and less Fast Track users.
