Kazaa, once the top Net nemesis of record companies and movie studios, appears to have lost its role as the world's most popular file-swapping software, network watchers said Monday.
According to BayTSP, a California firm that monitors file-swapping networks on behalf of entertainment companies, Kazaa rival eDonkey was the most widely used peer-to-peer application last month. Kazaa's lead on rivals has been sliding for more than a year--at least since the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) started filing lawsuits against individual file-swappers, with a focus on the Kazaa network. But many observers say Kazaa simply hasn't kept up with the technological times. "We've known that trend was coming," said BayTSP Chief Executive Officer Mark Ishikawa. "It was just a matter of time. eDonkey is a much better protocol for large files."
