All those in favor that really want to put a stop to this kind of spam REALLY quickly need to pressure and petition LimeWire to remove the Action URL launch capability. A new version of LimeWire is due out probably early next week, so complain, complain and complain some more. Send them emails, write forum posts (in their forums), complain in IRC... etc, etc. LimeWire devs will be back in on monday, so do as much as you can in 1 day, then keep the complaints rolling in after that.

Link to the following thread if you must use references: http://gnutellaforums.com/showthread...threadid=39690

(FYI: leaving this code in causes severe security problems, concerns and vulneribilites. Not to mention that you could bring Gnutella to its knees using this hole not to spam, but to use exploits in browsers. (previous link shows why) so, it is a must that limewire disable it, ASAP.)

FrostWire can only do so much without changing alot of code. Disabling the code in mainline limewire would be better for us all.
