Paid KaZaA version is on it’s way – Where does that money go?

24 Sep 02 17:36 by DoMiN8ToR in category Uncategorized To news archive


Our friends from ZeroPaid have discovered that the current KaZaA 2.00 version already included code that could unleash a paid KaZaA version. The current files of KaZaA already include the graphics to be used when the paid version will be launched. The information is gathered by looking into the code and is not (yet) visible to normal users.

The paid service will be called KaZaA plus and the only advantage to be discovered now seems to be more search results (up to 3000). This is nothing new as e.g. KaZaA Lite already is able to do this, and some register tweaking will also allow you to do this.



As a follow-up to the article posted here, there appears to be even stronger evidence of this soon-to-come paid version of KaZaA, dubbed ‘KaZaA Plus’. Hidden in the KaZaA v2.0 executable are many instances of ‘plus’ features which might very possibly be related to a subscription-based service that Sharman, along with Altnet, is planning to initiate in the near future.



Another explanation could be that Sharman Networks will release a separate, more advanced ‘plus’ upgrade version of KaZaA.
Using Resource Hacker, I grabbed all the screenshots I could find regarding this. They are 100% authentic, so if you are in doubt please go ahead and try it yourself (do a search for the string “plus” in reshacker):

Altough you might think, who will pay for this, keep in mind that the general public does pay for stuff like this! Read the entire story here and also take a look at the screenshots.

right on brotha, WinMx 3.3 rocks! I've never even tried out Kazaa and I'm not planning on it. I love the multi-source download feature on 3.3 :4

Even though Kazaa is downloaded roughly 10x more than WinMX, WinMX finds me 10x more MP3s (including rare artists) than Kazaa!

HI, why is Kaazza better than anything other: Its simple the more users the more content the more bandwidth. Kazza has the most users, so kazza has the most bandwidth and the most content. Understood ? Gräfdig

Can someone tell me how to get such as 3000 search results as mentioned in the text above with Kazaa Lite? I can only get 200 results and then push the search more button only once
