There were two people involved in the creation of Kazaa, the name "Kazaa" is a contraction of their 
names. They were of either Swedish or Norwegian origin AFAIK.

I think that if you look at the history of the Kazaa software, you will discover that the original 
creators of Kazaa as we know it - divested themselves of their creation long before it became 
subject to the controversy that surrounds it today.

As with many things the original concept becomes transposed to suit more adventurous purposes such 
as the "illegal sharing" of copyright material. Don't blame the creators blame the users.

HTH.
