P2P Program to Match Files to Product Origin

Keiron Waites writes "A program to match p2p downloads with the original products they came from has been released. ShareMonkey is free software for Microsoft Windows, with an additional plugin for the Shareaza p2p application. ShareMonkey lets you right click on a file and choose "Where is this file from?", which will direct you to a listing of products that carry the file. ShareMonkey is a service for those p2p users that download copyrighted files in a "try before you buy" capacity and is an attempt to bridge the gap between copyright infringement and subsequent purchasing of a product."

    If the name "Clarus" means nothing to you, GTFO. Don't you mean "CLARIS?" If you don't know how to spell the name, then maybe you should take your own advice, instead of trolling and making Mac users look bad.
