A second build of 1.7.1 is now available. It has an updated version of the Speed Up tool and the version info has been updated.

Differences with the original KaZaA

No Adware
No Spyware
No banners
No bitratelimit for mp3 files
No irritating websites loaded into KaZaA (when using supertrick)
No Brilliant Digital software included (Altnet / BDE / B3d)
No f*cking Bonzi Buddy
Set up multiple users with the included PseudoTrack tool
Includes a tool for accelerating downloads

If you used the official KaZaA from kazaa.com you might want to:
Use Ad-aware to remove all known spyware/adware from your computer.
Use BDE/B3D Killer to completely remove the software from Brilliant Digital.

Cox spokeswoman Amy Cohn said the company has discovered some instances in which high-speed Internet customers are stealing cable TV channels, but she couldn't specify a number. As a preventive measure, she said, the company installs traps on cable modem lines to prevent Internet customers from accessing video signals through cable TV. "We're currently auditing our networks to identify situations where traps may be needed and are installing the appropriate equipment to prevent this theft from occurring," Cohn said.

AT&T Broadband on the other hand try to stop piracy by going from neighborhood to neighborhood and performing a tap audit, which allows it to detect all manner of cable theft. The tap audit lets the operator evaluate services piped into the home to see if any are not being paid for. They also say that cable theft typically degrades signals to both the computer and the television, not to mention neighboring connections.

"The drops are not designed to be split," said Tracy Baumgartner, an AT&T Broadband spokeswoman. "The Internet product needs a dedicated feed so that it runs as efficiently as it's supposed to."

But cable subscriber Noah said his TV reception and Net connection come up without a hitch, even with splitting the signal that goes to his cable modem!
