Kazaa-lite Shut Down

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the no-surprise-there dept.

atari2600 writes "Finally it has happened. Zeropaid is reporting that the Kazaalite K++ project has been shutdown by Sharman Networks. The project, which had been set up to block spy and ad ware within the Kazaa Media Desktop Program has achieved notoriety within the P2p world through its simplistic approach and success in reverse engineering the Kazaa application."

    Don't even try to argue. It is NOT worth the while to go round the world to count the cats in Zanzibar.

    I'm sure I'm just stating the obvious here, but isn't it a little hypocritical for them to complain about people breaking their license agreement when 99.9% of the time their software is used to steal from other companies?

    My installed version of Kazaa Lite seems to work still. Maybe they're mistaken about shutting them down. ;-)

    I find this slightly ironic, Sharman Networks shut down KazaaLite K++ because it violates their copyright yet Sharman's own FastTrack(Kazaa) network thrives on the numberous violations of other people's copyrights. On top of that you find KazaaLite K++ on Kazaa, so their own network is being use to violate their(Sharman's) copyright.

    RAM is cheap. Get 2 gigs of it. It'll change your life.

    Amen.

    Having a 1TB Raid 0 array has the same effect.
