"Kazaa v2.6 is Ad-Supported
Each day a team of people go to work with a mission - to make sure that peer to peer is here forever. Because Kazaa Media Desktop is supported by advertising and other revenue sources, this group of people can continue to enhance and improve the world’s most popular file sharing application and provide it to you for free.
Revenue comes from the following sources:
Content - payment for distribution of Rights Managed content (marked with Gold Icons)
Advertising - delivered by Cydoor and the GAIN Network. Read more.
Sales of products and services – e.g. BullGuard, MatchNet.
What "Ad-Supported" Means
Ad-supported means that in exchange for installing Kazaa Media Desktop without charge, the GAIN Network (using GAIN AdServer software) and Cydoor will show you online ads.
The GAIN Network delivers online advertisements that are selected based in part on how you surf the Web. "
They're calling it "Ad-support" :P
