According to BBC News, Kazaa (the popular P2P software) has agreed to pay £53m for damages to record companies, and has now become legal.

I think this happening was similar to Napster, am I right? If so, hasn't legal P2P software got to be payed for to use?

Yes.

But having said that, everybody knows that Kazaa breaks computers by dumping acres worth of spyware and shit on them anyway. And as you can do this for free at the moment, why pay for it? ;)
