FOSS Application Under Attack by Makers of KaZaa

Famatra writes "A story from Zeropaid indicates that maker of KaZaA, Sharman Networks, has sent a Cease and Desist Letter to the maker of KCEasy because it interoperates with their FastTrack network. The creator of KCeasy says on the KCEasy website "I feel that inclusion of FastTrack access with KCeasy is not worth a legal battle between Sharman and myself". A similar issue was covered by the Slashdot story Fight On Blizzard Vs. Bnetd Case on the right to reverse engineer to create an interoperable network. Reverse engineering to be another on the list of rights that have fallen by the wayside?"

      Well, GNAAPenisbird registered this for one of his friends. Here's some words straight from his mouth.

      nero-online.org isn't all that important to me. A friend wanted it for something else, but he gave up on it for his own reasons. So I took control of it and decided to make this wonderful website that improves on the goatse, et. al, revolution.
