This was on the msn.com news service this morning. It seems that spyware is being taken to a new level with Kazaa users.

No mention of this furor on the front of <A HREF="http://www.kazaa.com/">their web site</A>.

You will however notice that they are on their moral high-horse:

Quote:

COPYRIGHT - KaZaA does not condone activities and actions that breach the copyright of artists and copyright owners - as a KaZaA user you are bound by the KaZaA Terms of Use and laws governing copyright in each country.

No, they're not making any money from <I>that</I> ... they make it all by sneaking some software onto users computers that turns them into distributed ad-servers!

What a laugh!
