Using Kazaa

by admin on December 7, 2008

Kazaa is file sharing software that utilizes peer 2 peer networking. Once you install the free Kazaa software on your computer you will be able to begin downloading and uploading files from other users. Though many people worry about sharing or downloading music or video files that are under copyright laws, Kazaa is also a great tool to use if you wish to share your own recordings. Many musicians and other artists have come to recognize that by using peer 2 peer networks, they can promote their works, free of charge.

If you are interested in using Kazaa to promote your own works, don’t make the mistake of believing that this is limited only to musicians. Authors, video programmers, gamers, and photographers can use Kazaa to freely share their works. Kazaa has an entire section of their website dedicated to helping authors promote and legally share their works with each other. Your first step in sharing your own original works is to choose a license. You can choose a Creative Commons License, which ranges from completely free and in the public domain, to free to share but not to edit or change the content. You can also select your licensing as Digital Rights Management. This will allow you to control how much of your content is available for free. You can also set a fee for your work, ensuring that you aren’t giving everything away for free.

Kazaa is an excellent tool that content creators can use to distribute their works. You can even use the Magnet Link Builder to further promote your items. By using Kazaa’s Magnet Link, you will begin by hosting the file on your website or blog and allowing Kazaa users to download it from there. Once the file is downloaded repeatedly, it will then be shared from user to user through the network and you won’t need to worry about hosting the file on your server. Kazaa is an excellent way to promote your own materials, as well as download and share other files through a stable peer 2 peer network.
