Distributed computing is OK when you volunteer willingly. Brilliant Digital Entertainment abuses this and should not be allowed to covertly plant their little programs into the drives of the unsuspecting KaZaa users for the privilige of upgrading to the latest version of what is becoming a notorious P2P program.

Unfortunately, KaZaa and new Australian owners Sharman Networks are achieving a nice cash flow with all this deceit and that only instigates others to do the same. Bearshare and Limewire also stick spyware in their code and as KaZaa pulls in profits they are watching, trying to decide if they should aggressively follow Sharman's lead or wait to first see what repercussions will come from this.



I went to download.com, and saw that morpheus preview ed held the top spot and kazaa was nowhere to be found =0

Ahh the rise and fall of another p2p program...

It may have been that Kazaa pulled it off download.com so that you have to go go to kazaa.com to download it. Some companies only offer their programs for download from their website. Nero, the popular burning software, is a good example, you can only download it from nero.com.

Doesn't make any sense to me since bandwidth cost would be a heavy burden, but just thought I would throw that out there.
