Slim chance. The first thing they did was abandon the relatively harmless and
removable Whenu adware and replaced it with one of the worst spyware apps
and locked it in so you can't run BearShare without being spied upon.

It's like they are deliberately trying to destroy BearShare. I wouldn't advise
anyone to touch BearShare 5.2.0 and up anymore because you simply cannot
trust the people involved in it anymore. That they hide away from us appears
to be proof enough that their intentions are to exploit users for a quick buck
and that they are still as stupid as in the years they put out that notorious
spyware bundle called iMesh.
