also @ TechSpot: Microsoft launches YouTube app, Google demands it taken down
It took a few years but the brand was taken over by Brilliant Digital Entertainment and the new service is expected to leave beta as early as this week. It will open with over 1 million tracks and offer unlimited downloads for $20 per month. Now, if you’re not up to brush on the going rates for legal all-you-can-eat music services, $20 is a bit steep.
To step up the game, the press release says the service will implement new technology which permits users to share photos, videos and even documents with one another. Unfortunately, the rest of the press release is very confusing, and quite hurtful to the service’s image. So, how long before Kazaa is buried again?

Got something to say? Post a comment-
I give it about a year. When it comes to subscription-based music services, you have to make the pricing competitive. And I don't think picture sharing offsets the higher costs. Most people already have many other ways of sharing those.

Agreed there... It's just more of the same thing you can get many other places, at a higher price... Why would anyone even bother?
-
Thanks, but no thanks (interesting to hear the name Kazaa again though - thought it was long dead). Pricing is too high for the service.
-
oh boy, i can't wait, i can put all my kazaa posters again and dowload pictures and documents too. oh boy. only $20 a month. i can earn that in only 4 hours. oh boy
