kazza---is it illegal?

Okay, so I've read about the lawsuits. I use the program. I'm thinking of uninstalling it.

Here's my question. I PAID to download and run the program. Why is it illegal if I use it? Shouldn't it be the company's problem? I can understand going after people who are illegally downloading music, but all I'm doing is using a program, a service, that I paid for. Tell me why it's illegal (if it is).

I'll uninstall it if it means I'm going to get fined. I haven't been able to find a clear cut answer for this. Can someone explain it to me?

As far as I know, the program itself is legal. Using it to download copyrighted products isn't.

Which, let's face it, is all anyone is going to be using it for.

And if you don't mind me asking, why did you pay for it? Isn't it available to download freely from their site?

The demo is free, but the program isn't, and I wanted something I could use long time. Which, it turns out, is a mistake. Looks like I'm going to uninstall.

If you unistall it, then I don't see how you can get fined. None the less, if you bought, then you bought it to download. And as was said before, all anyone downloads is copyrighted material anyways. ILLEGAL.

OR

KaZaa is a sewer chewer, in which case this is right place to discuss the purchase of said individual. Which I think is also illegal, nontheless I think a mod will probably move this to the appropriate forum (i.e. Music or Culture)

Kazaa is totally free. And it is not illegal.

It's not illegal. If you're worried about being sued (which is kinda ridiculous to me, but some people are...) use a program like PeerGuardian to block the IPS of people trying to scan your comp.
