Do you use kazaa?

[geekbot]

Do you use kazaa? And do you know that your computer might be used without your knowledge?

This doesn't seem too cool. Is this old news? Why do people still use it?

Quote:

• Some Napster replacements — notably KaZaA, the most popular — are fitted with "spyware," which gathers information about a computer and its users. The information is then sold, often to companies responsible for spam e-mail.

One spyware company, Brilliant Digital Entertainment, revealed to the government last year that its software has been installed on the millions of computers running KaZaA. The company will have access to the unused computing power of those machines. Brilliant planned to rent all that untapped power to the highest bidder, once the network is switched on.

I use WinMx personally, I find the music I'm looking for, so I'm satisfied. Plus no pop-ups or spyware.

If you can't find what you're looking for via one of these applications, it hasn't been pirated yet.

I cant format my computer because I dl like 40 programs from kazza that took like 20 days and i will lose them all. And now my cd burner exploded so I cant burn these programs or anything else. Go Dell computers, go! Anyone want my computer?

You do realize that if your computer is within 2 or 3 years old that you can just call up Dell and they'll replace the burner for free (assuming you're under warranty), right?
