What Was It?
Kazaa became a familiar name in desktop peer-to-peer file sharing. Searching and downloading involved the collections of other connected users rather than one centrally maintained store.
The brand later moved into a different music-service model, so the early client and the final business endpoint should not be treated as one unchanged experience.
