Kazaa picks up the speed with update "The update, called Kazaa Media Desktop 1.5, comes with a new function for download recommendations, faster search results, faster start-up time and an automated feature that lets people communicate with contacts, according to the developer. Like its notorious cousin Napster, Kazaa has been targeted in lawsuits from the recording and motion picture industries, which charge that its peer-to-peer technology enables unauthorized distribution of copyright works. But unlike Napster, which has essentially been forced by the courts to block the swapping of all copyrighted music, Kazaa continues to function as though it's business as usual." [at CNET News.com]
<sarcasm> Good thing the RIAA had Napster shut down and stopped all this silly file-trading business dead in its tracks. Good going, RIAA! </sarcasm>
