Cat Stevens' "Peace Train"
Is Being Blocked on Kazza

The classic hit song "Peace Train" by the artist formerly known as Cat Stevens, is currently being blocked from download on the Kazza file-sharing system.

The block was uncovered by BreakForNews.com on 23rd September --when Yusuf Islam was prevented from entering the USA. Our monitoring shows that listings of the song on Kazza are spurious since at least that date. The artfully constructed block is still in place today.

Ostensibly, nothing seems to be amiss when Kazza clients search the sharing network for "Peace Train." A long list of available "free" download locations appears. But any attempt to actually download these offerings fails.

The Kazza usernames shown to have the song available for download periodically change. But these Kazza listings are all from the same source. The downloads fail in all cases.

1. Obviously

It's the CIA, or DIA. Maybe NSA or NGA.

2. actually, this sounds par for kazaa, no conspiracy

for any slightly obscure song. popular songs are no problem to download, but this sounds like the usual ordeal one goes through trying to find uncommon music on kazaa on an everyday basis. that's why i gave up on it. this would be real easy to prove one way or the other if somebody has the album and can share it. of course some kasaa expert could prove me wrong, i was at most a very casual user.

4. didn't used to be that way on kazaa

2-3 years ago, lots of obscure music could be found, but when they started those lawsuits many people dropped off. now most of the music found is news stuff that the kids are looking for.

3. LOL it's no conspiracy

Just par for the fucked up Kazaa course.

No one uses Kazaa anymore anyway, except people that don't know any better.
