The page isn't a 404 anymore:

The KaZaA website requires a version 4+ browser. Please upgrade your browser and
try again.

No link to bypass. No contact info. Assholes.

Funniest thing, their site is working fine with Mozilla (just take look at
http://www.kazaa.com/en/download.htm). But Kazaa is an IE and Windows Media
Player embedder. Coincidence?

Well, there is a version of kazaa for linux downloadable from their site.

A little more on topic:
The site does not work even when masquerading the useragent string as IE.  Asa
posted this to slashdot, I trust it is right:


 kazaa.com has lame browser sniffing:

//redirect for people with a less than
//version 4 browser
var NS4 = (document.layers);
var IE4 = (document.all);
var ver4 = (NS4 || IE4);
if(!ver4)
        location.href= "notsupported.htm";

//redirect for people with a less than 
//version 4 browser
var appVer = navigator.appVersion;
var NS4 = (document.layers) || (appVer.indexOf("6."));
var IE4 = (document.all);
var ver4 = (NS4 || IE4); 
//if(!ver4)
//
location.href= "notsupported.htm";
