No matter how this works out, you will never find me on Kazaa. Ain’t gonna happen, not today, not yesterday, not next year. I don’t trust a company that willingly loads on spyware or doesn’t provide notice it is there and a removal tool if you don’t want it. Nor do I trust the media cartels that seem more than ready to sue their own customers. Putting them together does nothing to increase that trust; quite the opposite.

There are simply far too many p2p apps out there to chose from. I would suspect that we will see more apps with security being a higher priority being released in the future. Kazaa isn’t a choice as far as a p2p app goes in my opinion.

Umm, what generation would THAT be ??
Seems to me that this site holds the interests of many different
generations, from the hippies of the 60’s ( maybe even older )
all the way to the ” Me First’s “.

“desperately cling to your illegal P2P torch as long as you live.”

P2P is not illegal, just like the VCR is not legal.
Simply repeating the same lies over and over again still doesn’t
make it true. I realize that it is VERY important to you, gachnar,
and your bosses to make people believe that P2P in itself is
illegal, but it’s not. Get over it.
Heck, it even appears that the RIAA may be using it themselves
as a cheap distribution method. Cool eh ?
Sooooo many legitimate legal uses for P2P, it boggles the mind.
Lot’s of REAL artists are using P2P as a way of distributing ( for
free ) their own works ( made outside of the Cartel influence )
so that literally thousands will actually get to HEAR them.

“Nobody cares.”

Lots of us do.
Apparently you care enough to troll this site so faithfully.
If you don’t care, leave.
You’ll stay though, gotsta git paid .. right ?

“Be another Jon Newton ”

I wish, but there can be only one
I wonder how many of us would have the guts to stand up to
a corporate juggernaught, with only a pocket full of lint ?
Hell, Gachnar, your too cowardly to do anything but troll
anonymously. If I find myself in Jon’s shoes, I hope I have the
courage to make the same choice as he did.

“continue your fight for the right to rip people off ”

You obviously ignore the horror stories Mr. Rafael Venegas has
told us about the REAL rip-off artists.
Have you been reading about all of the lawsuits against the
various labels as they have been caught not paying royalties
( ripping off the various “artists” they claim to support ).
How much money from the CD levies have gone to Artists ?
How much Lawsuit money has gone to Artists ?
We will continue in the fight to stop artists from getting ripped off
by the labels.
It’s obviously having an effect.
It bothers you enough to keep trolling

“Settlements like this and decisions like Grokster have encouraged massive investment in legal uses of digital means of delivery – including P2P. Innovation is thriving … and the people that are innovating, both technologically and creatively, are getting paid. You are so over … but it is unlikely that you will ever grow up – so, you’ll never know. Keep smokin’ that EFF, you’ll need to keep ingesting that immoral hallucinogen to get you through what is likely to be a very pathetic rest of your life. ”

Huh ??
LOL Gachnar is starting to BABBLE lolololol.
You are running out of ideas.
You lost.
Move on.

you are so what

The downloaders; that ONE thing which the **AA’s have _never_ (?) been able to convince that crap is actually cream. Does anybody remember Napster?
