Kazaa

In my true and honest opinion, I think the idea behind Kazaa is brilliant. People sharing their love for music with one another is one way to view it, yet another could be the exploitation of artists and their music.

After reading about the way Kazaa was set up among the different countries and extremely decentralized, I thought to myself how smart these people are. They know what a majority of listeners want and how to get it to them...free music that is easily downloaded.

Throughout the reading, I did get confused with a lot of the technical aspects. However, one major question that was proposed was does the "power to kill Kazaa ultimately rests solely in the hands of the service's users?" In my opinion, I believe that it really does. As hard as the article led me to believe about tracking down the right people for a lawsuit, it really does come down to the users themselves. I agree that until something better comes along, Kazaa will hold its power. That principle lies within so many aspects of life. People are like lemmings at times - they will stay on one train until someone discovers something bigger and better and then they will jump to another. It is more or less a humanistic quality.
