Why is called Kazaa?

[Damnatory]

I figured it was because they couldn't just plagiarize code and call it "Morpheus" again.

Thought is was they couldnt spell crap lol

Crap was already in use ... XP is it's better knownname...

It also means "Household" in Latin. So it might've been based on the idea of some "large storage" place -- on the other hand, that sounds more like Napster. Kazaa is an unregulatable anonymous network.

I also always wondered why it is called Kazaa.

Isn't there also Kazaam the genie in a bottle, from this one movie-
might there be any connection, like Kazaa will fullfill you every wish?

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

And using 'mule' is better?

Using eMule is much better

What's so weird about 'Goat'? You've already got eMule, eDonkey, Bear Share... heck even Napster is a little Cat-thing with headphones (even though it's not technically file-sharing anymore, you can still see there's a trend).
