NeoNapster's NeoAudio Rips Off CDex

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the gpl-violations-are-not-nice dept.

mydoghasworms writes "There's an interesting thing going down at CDex. Apparently the CDex application has been ripped off by NeoNapster, replacing the logo and adding some spyware and adware. (For those not in the know, CDex is a very nice, very easy-to-use GPL (as in Open Source) Audio CD Ripper). The user comments at download.com make for a very entertaining read."

    Similar to the Perlmonks Vote for Paco campaign, this might be a chance to give a spy/adware product the lowest cnet rating ever!!!

    While we're at it, if you have sex, you're going to get SIDS, so never swap fluids with someone of the opposite sex.

    SIDS is Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Dude, you better watch out who you're having sex with.

    Yes they do. Especially this insightful gem from Rob Malda - about 35 comments down.

      That's obviously a fake. Not a misspelled word to be seen.

    I downloaded NeoAdAware from them and it keeps attempting to clean itself, creating this wicked endless loop that's murdering my system resources.

    Finally, math books without any of that base 6 crap in them.
