Wow that is fucked up!!!!!!!
Whenever i run a spyware scan on my pc and delete them Kazaa
can't load.
Now i know why!!!
Someone should hack those companies and destroy them , beat
them at their own game.

Morpheus split from Kazaa, they now use Gnutella, a
completely different network. The best spyware scanning and
removing program is ad-aware.

Are you sure that Microsoft are not involved in this - it
smells like the kind of thing they'd get up to!

Actually it might well be!

There doesn't seem to be any question that Kazaa will
install the B3D spyware program if you let it, the question
remains if it has all the capabilities described in the
article. It might still be an April Fools joke, but I
wouldn't put anything past these guys.

I hope it's a joke, but it's too 2002 to be a joke. You know
it's true, cos it's such a great service. Unlimited
music/software for free. There's always a catch with the
good stuff on the net.

Brilliant Digital's annual report sure doesn't look like ...

Here's the relevant bit:

"Through Altnet, we intend to create a private peer-to-peer
network to enable our clients to access and utilize this
excess processing power, storage capacity and unused
bandwidth for multiple applications."
