New version of Kazaa has these new features:

(New!) Block RIAA and other organizations from connecting, downloading and uploading to you.
(New!) K++ default options have been changed to protect your privacy. By default:
Bad IP ranges, eg. the ones from the RIAA and others, are now blocked automatically by K++ thanks to the PeerGuardian IP range file. K++ blocks all these IP ranges from ever connecting to you (both TCP and UDP), and the connections are closed immediately without them getting a single bit from you.
No-one can get a listing of ALL your files through a "Find all files from this user" command (you're still able to share, though).
Port 1214 (aka Kazaa's port) is disabled so no-one can scan your computer to see if you're using Kazaa K++.
Your search history isn't saved in the registry.
All options can easily be changed should you not like the default options.
(New!) Kazaa K++ now has a Windows XP look
(New!) Upload view, download view, and search view show windows icons for each file name instead of the old blue icons.
(New!) Several Kazaa bugs have been fixed, including the serious Packet 0' Death FastTrack network vulnerability
(New!) Supports multiple users installation. All users can use K++ without a problem. The installer sets the appropriate permissions on folders and registry keys.
No spyware/adware installed, and no ads displayed.
Faster downloads
Unlimited searches
Participation level constant at 1000
(New!) The toolbar buttons right below the main menu now have gripper bars so you can move them to other places to get more room for eg. the web browser or your upload/download view.
(New!) You can now re-download a file you've previously already started to download instead of getting a message such as "You've already started downloading this file. Check download view.". The reason you want this option is if you've cancelled a file (eg. by accident), and want to download it again. Previously, this was impossible, but now you can download it again.
(New!) K++ options can now be easily changed while K++ is running, and without having to restart it in order for the changes to take effect.
Includes cool addon tools such as KL Extensions, AVI Preview, K-Dat, K-Sig, Speed Up and KaZuperNodes.
Available in many languages: english, german, french, italian, dutch, and czech
And more...

where've u got this?
the k++ site does not have this version
edit:-while it can block known RIAA ip's all they need to do is change their ip which is exactly what they will do so this feature is useless

Does that mean you bin all the other versions of Kazaa and just keep this one?

RIAA can't do anything to anyone in the UK anyway, so why would we be worried about RIAA :D

I'm guessing there's nothing stopping the RIAA from contacting different worldwide copyright holders so they can take relevant action against the user in whatever country they reside.

The BPA (British Phonographic Association), the UK equivalent of RIAA, have said that they are currently not interested in sueing anyone for copyright violations but that they are instead trying to educate people about the damage of copyright ;)
