Scarecrow Man Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 There has been another startling revelation about Sharman Networks and their Kazaa software. Apparently, the program logs information about all user downloads and search queries over the network and transmits that to the company. In theory, Sharman can do a search for every user and IP address that has downloaded a particular file. If Sharman can do that, then so can anyone who is suing them, such as the RIAA. Yet another reason to avoid Kazaa like the plague.

Redhat Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Yet another reason to avoid Kazaa like the plague.I only need one reason... its highly illegalI'm confused - p2p is not illegal as far as I know :blink: Downloading copyrighted material is though.

Zfactor Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 I'm sure everybody makes sure not to pirate software through kazaa ;)The fact that it is P2P is just so that they don't get shut down, anything freeware you can find online elsewhere (because its free). Everybody knows the score: you get Kazaa to download illegally. If that was not the case, there would no be so many add-on apps that mask your IP and location.
