( Evil file-sharing racketeers / for-profit freedom fighters ) KaZaa have released
an alpha Linux client, allowing Penguinistas to
steal from poor, helpless recording corporations without the indignity of
installing Wintendo like all the other kids.
Wonder whether it includes the infamous spyware that the Windows version has;
or indeed whether it requires to be run as root so that it can send all your
visited web pages to some evil marketing firm.
Then there was giFT, an open-source,
reverse-engineered client for FastTrack (i.e., KaZaa &c) networks, but that
fell by the wayside when FastTrack changed their spec to break it.
