I've gotten Kazaa to work without suck through careful monitoring of what it was installing, removing nonessentials afterwards (there are general directions on the internet, I think I only had to do one), and having the whole thing behind a good firewall. It's really amusing when its ad page shows a "cannot connect" error message, but sharing still works fine. This was before I knew about Kazaa Lite, however.
I also think that a communal music server is in order. I've got a public music share (well, now it's FTP) on my desktop already that I'm willing to give out the guest password to, but it's not a full-time server or a static IP, so I would support the establishment of a general-use music server in the Den or the KGB office... however, I don't think it should be as touted as Bloodgod. I just don't want to deal with the bandwidth wankery.
