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!

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."
