Kazaa is a virus if you ask me. But I wonder if this guy was giving interviews from his office at RIAA headquarters? The title says 45% of files have virus, but the body of the story says he only tested .exe files. That calls into question anything else in the story. You deserve a virus if you download executable files.

Kazaa is a virus

Ya got that right!! Last Spring, my son's wife downloaded some Kazaa crap and then the klez virus got to me through them. It destroyed my computer. I actually bought a new comp because it would be so costly to have the '98 purged of it. He did too.

No more Kazaa at THIER house!

I don't know anything about Kazaa or Napster. I had a slow computer and slow dial-up connection when Napster was around, and I'm not allowed to download music I didn't pay for. My husband has a major pet-peeve against it.

Exactly. Thanks for saving me the typing. ;-)

The very first line in the article specifies executable files. So the original title is not misleading, but the comments in brackets might make it so.

My daughter and I have downloaded thousands of files on Kazaa. Every single one has been an mp3, mpg or AVI file. I guess I have a screwed up ethics system - I PAY for software because I consider it intellectual property.
