AOL Pulls Nullsoft's WASTE

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the right-hand-meet-left-hand dept.

dmehus writes "America Online, parent company of Nullsoft, has pulled what it views as a controversial project called WASTE from Nullsoft's servers. This is not the only time it has stepped in to Nullsoft's doings. It had quickly taken down Gnutella, developed by Nullsoft co-founder Justin Frankel, and shut down an MP3 search engine. CNET's News.com has more details." For those not keeping track, WASTE was only recently released.

    It's all a big conspiracy by AOL and Microsoft to WASTE the GPL and WASTE all music pirates in one fell swoop.

    It's code that gets itself mirrored on lots and lots of web servers.

    Please mod this up so my server survives.

    Yeah, and you'd better mod this post up as well or I'll...er...kill a kitten.
