KaZaA Goes Premium With For-Pay Service
KaZaA has launched a premium version of its service, "KaZaA Plus." A free version of the popular peer-to-peer software is still available.
The $29.95 version of KaZaA blocks all banner or pop-up ads. Users of the premium version can access up to 3,000 results per search,
three to five times more than with the free KaZaA service. Premium users can also download files from up to 40 sources at a time, vs. eight for free. Additionally, KaZaA Plus can initiate searches that run every 30 minutes for a 24-hour period.
KaZaA Plus still incorporates Altnet, which sells commercial downloads through the peer-to-peer network.
KaZaA software is distributed by Sharman Networks and published by Avalon Online Distribution, a unit of Titus Interactive Group.
