I'm trying to understand how you consider something like Kazaa different than something like torrents when the only difference is that the downloader is getting it bit by bit from multiple places.
Basically... Kazaa was controlled software, that searched and recorded the search, across the p2p network, matching people up directly to other users... and you could lbrowse through what they had, I think that was an issue too.

Torrent, (not the trackers) isn't a single controlled software, it doesn't record anything and it does not control access/accounts, the torrent-user isn't searching 'you' then grabbing a variety of things.

Now the trackers, are some what like Kazza, other than the bit differences and search doesn't gather/log anything. I think that is why some of the torrent sites/trackers have taken the heat and not the technology directly.
