Kazaa-Lite - (kazaa-lite.com) - advertises you will have access to over 1 billion files. They charge $32.00 for lifetime acees. Kazaa-Lite does say they offer the tools that give you unlimited access to music. The problem is these tools are free. I have better things to do with $32.00 then paying for a link and support for free software!

The advertising on Kazaa-Lite.com is misleading. Visitors may think they are signing up for a service that offers unlimited music, movies, games, and software. Instead they are paying for Kazaa-Lite for a link and support to free P2P file sharing software. Read the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) stance on file sharing networks.

This brings up several questions:

• Is file sharing legal?
  • File sharing in and of itself is legal as long as the files are not copyright protected. What they don't tell you is that a huge majority of P2P network files are copyrighted content and therefore illegal to download.
  • The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has taken legal action against more than 30,000 people for downloading and/or sharing copyrighted music.
• Does P2P file sharing software normally cost money?
  • No it does not. While Kazaa-Lite.com does make mention they are providing the tools for unlimited access they don't say these tools are free. Their hoime page certainly certainly gives the impression they are providing unlimited music downloads.
• Is Kazaa-Lite doing anything illegal?
  • Their hoime page certainly certainly gives the impression they are providing unlimited music downloads - but they do say they are providing tools the give unlimited access
• Is Kazaa-Lite misleading visitors?
  • We definitely find their site misleading. Visit McAfee Site Advisor for more opinions of the site.
