Kazaa making a comeback, this time legit

Kazaa, one of the most notorious P2P software of yesteryear is set to make a comeback in 2009, this time as a legal subscription music service.

Sources speaking to Cnet say the rebirth could happen as soon as August and will turn the once infamous unauthorized downloading hub into a new subscription service with catalogs from the Big 4 labels.

Unlimited downloads will cost $20 USD a month and the store is expected to open with over a million tracks available.

Napster, the original file sharing site to feel the wrath of the record label, reopened as a legal music store in 2003.

Pirate Bay & Kazaa, hi, welcome.
I'd like you to meet pay site Napster 2.0.

You guys should talk, i think you'll find something very interesting about Napster when they went legit and to a pay site.

20$ a month unlimited is to much, 10-15$ would be better.

I actually miss the FastTrack network.

It's too bad Sharman reconfigured it not to work anymore.
