P.S.: it appears that BS simply parasites on the gnutella network... Shall we, client developers, simply bann'em?
BearShare does have connections with the rest of the Gnutella network, it's just the BearShare clients perfer other BearShare clients over other Gnutella clients.

In response to second comment: No, don't block BearShare. And how does BearShare parasite on the Gnutella network? Using BearShare I still get the same results as the rest of the Gnutella network.
