Download Temporarily Suspended 
Download of the KaZaA Media Desktop software is temporarily and voluntarily suspended pending Dutch court decision on January 31. We apologise for the inconvenience. Please check back at www.kazaa.com for more information. This is the text that appears on the KaZaA download page.
Software maker Kazaa has suspended downloads of its file-swapping service from its website, pending a decision by a Dutch court on Jan. 31. A Dutch court in November ordered the company to bar people from swapping copyrighted digital music files or face stiff fines. Kazaa has also been sued by the U.S. recording and film industries for alleged copyright violations. Download.Com is reporting nearly 1 million downloads of the program in the week ending January 13th.

Gnutella could use another surge in users, and we will probably get one from people who want to try out KaZaA but cannot download it.

It's the best exposure you can get for your program.
Gnutella got famous after the developers stopped the official download.

Oh well, morpheus, AG, is still around. But we can always download the vast dozens of tunes out of the 100 song library of Napster for only 10 dollars a month!! Now that's a bargain!!!  |

Who says Kazaa cannot be downloaded?
You just have to have a grain of salt.
Go to google and type kmd133 or kme133_en.
Have FUN!

you know as long as your not selling your downloads its just like lending your buddy your program or song to listen or play. Information is free and so should this.
