You now have a choice.
You can now block the spyware/adware clients.
You no longer have to contribute your network resources or CPU cycles to spyware clients.
You have the choice, and the power.

Not exactly on the topic at hand, but....
 
Do you want to know how to force people to accept your spyware? Simple, do like RadLight did and HAVE YOUR INSTALLER UNINSTALL AD AWARE FROM THE USER'S MACHINE WHEN THEY INSTALL YOUR PRODUCT!

Here's the link to the Ad Aware message boards with the story:

http://www.lavasoft.nu/cgi-bin/forum...t=ST;f=20;t=13

EDIT: Addendum: The author of RadLight stated that he was trying to prove a point that since Ad Aware forces the removal of spyware -- the only component to allow some developers to make money from their products -- that he would force the removal of Ad Aware to get his point across... his point being that Ad Aware, in his opinion, participates in the illegal removal of legally installed software (adware/spyware components). Of course, it backfired on him big time, but I suppose that was to be expected.

It won't make much difference soon. Looks like FreePeers has decided to bundle Cydoor with Bearshare. That may turn out to be the final spyware nail in BearShare's coffin.

Yes and they want to offer a PRO version... for 10 bucks!

btw, the first Xolox betas are out - only for a few people right now... but I hope it will be released soon... who really cares about these spyware clients anymore? :)
