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."

    There is whole lotta other progs like: Morpheus, Gnutella or WinMX and they play fair (all links are reviews).
    Why should I even consider using something with spyware?

    I can't stand the irony- an ad-busting version of Kazaa, being distributed from a site rife with popups!

    Big deal, you could already loose both spy-ware and advertising with a simple crack and registry edit...

    I know I'll be like the fiftieth person to say it, but it's so damn stupid it needs to be said again anyway. I mean seriously, I've been using it for a month specifically because it's been commented about on slashdot like ten times, and always modded up to "5 informative". Every time there is any sort of p2p article it's linked too. Seriously man.

    Oh I'm betraying the blackout. Damn.
