kazza lite problems

[alan_driver]

Is anyone else experiancing kazza lite problems? Mine will not download anything. It says its connected, but nothing is downloading (and they're not uncommon songs.) Also when I search it says nothing could be found within a second, IE, its not searching. Suggestions?

Dont use Kazaa for music would be the best advice...

how are they going to catch people? generally, you sign in with an anonymous email and details etc, and most peoples ip addresses are dynamic.
i am just curious to know.

Using these terrorism laws they can force the ISP's to provide which user grabbed which IP at which time.

They are then going to those users with the details provided with the ISP's and fining them on a per song basis.

Truly ridiculous and the most short sighted thing of recent times.

Death to the recording industry on the basis as if any more reason was needed after New Kids On The Block.

cheers for the info, and i totally agree about it being short sighted.
the funniest story i have heard is that sony music sued sony products for there mp3 players as they promote illegal music downloads etc

Thats true, but they can only prosecute people living in the US. The British Phonographic Industry (BPI) do not have the same legislative rights and cannot prosecute in this manner. Although they will be considering it in the near future.

I cant see the BPI ever being allowed to run a similar scheme in the UK, we just dont work like that as a nation.
