Why is called Kazaa?

Phosfor · Phosfor

Kazaa was my first p2p program but just as everyone else I stoped using it and switched to bittorrent a few years ago. But I have never really understod why the program is called 'kazaa'. Does anyone know?

Thanks. They prbably ment 'let's go' when they created it. Using 'Goat' seems a little weird

They would have called it Sheep...but there was not one to be found during the annual Welsh bachelor feast of Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch.

After much discussion, using the famous Dutch Polder Model to make the decision, Kazaa as alternative to "Sheep"was eventually chosen; knowing that most Kazaa users were capable of writing maximum 4 letter words(WTF being by far their favorite), and also, one of the developers did actually mention that Kazaa has 5 letters in it....

But he was out vo~~goa~~ted
