Kazaa Lite K++ was touted as a way to protect p2p users from "organisations such as the RIAA" invading their privacy, but also blocked features of the Kazaa software deemed as adware and spyware.
Sharman Networks has reportedly contacted the Internet service provider of every Web site which hosted Kazaa Lite K++ and threatened them with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act unless access to the modified software was removed. This follows a move earlier in the year when Sharman Networks used the same legislation to force Google to remove links to the modified version or face legal action.
Sharman Networks had its eye on Kazaa Lite as long ago as April last year.
Kazaa became the most downloaded peer-to-peer software earlier this year, and has been engaged in running legal battles with the Recording Industry Association of America.
Good luck Sharman, I run Kazaa lite myself, after using their program and getting tired of constant ads popping up on my computer. Whats to stop people from using the official Kazaa to get the latest versions of kazaalite? We are still all on line, looking at my program at the moment there are 3,055,678 people using either Kazaa or Kazaalite, my guess a high percentage are using Kazaalite. My theory is, when they change their own program to cut us from their system do they they think we will revert to theirs?? No way, hell there are at least 6 other programs we can use. And when they lose all the Kazaalite users, is their system going to make up for the loss of the files we are sharing with their users? NO!
I will keep using Kazaalite until it fades out, then move on to other NO Spyware programs!!
