Kazaa Lite: spyware-free version

Posted by Hemos on from the making-it-clean dept.

Pig Hogger writes "According to this VNUNET article, KAZAA-Lite, a new hacked version of spyware-ridden KAZAA file-sharing software is being circulated, sans spyware. The new, improved version has apparently been hacked by a russian programmer, as a matter of course."

    A program used primarily for copyright infringement has been reverse-engineered and redistributed. Does this mean that the DMCA has officially cancelled itself out? :)

      Yeah, we damn russian hackers just can't knock it off, I mean I even hack into my development server every time, instead of just logging in. It's a good thing I'm a lousy admin, though, so it's usually pretty easy.

    Is this some sort of CPM joke? This thing doesn't run on my computer. I tried doing chmod +x and downloading it multiple times, but it still doesn't work.

    Besides that, the files are 10 days old. That's old software. How do I know that there hasn't been any bitrot?

    Now that communism has fallen, Gorbachev is finally allowing computers to be sold at the Russian chain Fryovitch's.

    Wait a minute...that was a while ago.
