TALLINN, Estonia - Their office is
spartan,
with only five computers in various states of repair and
nary a decoration on
the wall. Few outside this Baltic capital would
even recognize their names,
though many of the world's largest
recording and movie studios are keenly aware
of their
accomplishment.
Jaan Tallinn, Ahti Heinla and Priit
Kasesalu are the creators of Kazaa.
Over the past two
years, the oddly named product has become the most popular
online
file-swapping system in the world. Roughly 160 million people have
downloaded the software, primarily to trade music, TV shows and
movies over the
Internet. At any given time, more than 3 million
people are running the program,
double the number that Napster had
at its peak.
