description: I explain why Kazaa is in legal trouble after being ruled subject to US laws despite its offshore location. Since it’s likely doomed, I suggest it’s time to move on to the next generation of P2P software.

[Kazaa is next](http://rss.com.com/2100-1023-980274.html?type=pt&part=rss&tag=feed&subj=news). Even though it's not based in the US, Kazaa has been ruled to be subject to US laws. No matter what the outcome, Kazaa is going to be in trouble. Well, time to move on to the next P2P software.
