Background

After Nikklas Zenström Kazaa sold to Sharman, the manufacturer wanted to do with the program profit.

  • A Kazaa Plus baptized program was / is sold for U.S. $ 30. ( Today, however, of Seroph Holdings BV - Stand 2.2006 )
  • The free version was / is limited ( source use, "search more " options). Moreover, advertising has been installed, and installed a lot of malware.

For this reason, hackers have the client modified so that it runs without the built-in malware and Sharman have also caused that official clients are exploited ( participation level hack ).

Then, the manufacturer warned from the supplier and even locked all the old Kazaa versions. However, this did not help, because the community managed derivatives and new releases.
