That makes is almost impossible to make big changes to the program or add new features. They didn't have any source code of the program. Kazaa Lite is not a different program, it's the same program, just without all the additional software. So a cleaned up version was made: Kazaa Lite. The authors of Kazaa Lite were concerned about the fact that the Original Kazaa contained unwanted third party software and wanted to be able to use it without that software. All-in-all, FastTrack is a very good, very powerful P2P system. They also resumes broken downloads or downloads that were in progress when you shut down your computer last. Kazaa Lite can download single files from multiple users to ensure you get the most efficient use of your bandwidth. (And in the past also Morpheus, which now only connects to the Gnuttella network) It is a 'FastTrack' Client, which means it connects to the FastTrack P2P network system, just like some other popular file sharing programs like Kazaa, Grokster and iMesh. Kazaa Lite provides sharing of all kinds of media and software. The main difference is that Kazaa Lite has been modified so that it does not have any of the so-called 'Spyware' and 'Adware' that comes with the Original Kazaa. Both programs are very similar, with almost identical features and appearance. In actual fact, it is a modified version of the very popular Kazaa Media Desktop (often called the 'Original Kazaa' or 'KMD'), which is made by Sharman Networks. I you should feel com[pelled to get substandard quality downloaded music instead of buying a disk and getting the package, then by all means use Kazaa or I-tunes, or even NAPSTER for that matter, just don’t get the false impression that you are giving something back to the artist who made the music, nobody has seen any money yet.Kazaa Lite (sometimes called 'K-Lite') is a Peer-to-Peer File Sharing application that does not contain any 'Spyware'. So when you download Muddy Waters, does Back Street boys get compensated? When you download Ray Charles, are you giving money to Britney Spears? Nobody kbows how to allocate the funds so they are sitting in limbo, but at least nobody is STEALING anything here, uh sorta.Īs for bands I manage, they have no issue with people trading music, it’s what makes people stars and gets music heard when not owned by the US giants, which no artist benefits from. Last year, I-Tunes turned up with several million dollars in paid service thay neither they nor th elabels know how to allocate. The problem that they haven’t solved is that they are collecting money for each artist based on what is downloaded.

Kazaa as owned by sharman networks is a pay for use service and yes it is somehow legal as are all the other so called “above board companies(itunez, Rolling Stone etc.).
