Well, this thread for one...

Even if it's not true spamming (since the user is asked) - the program is target towards newbies, and many may not understand that "inform your friends" really means "Spam everyone in your address book". This kind of marketing is likely to cause UCE complaint to ISPs and result in people's accounts being pulled.

Plus just the general way their home page never mentions Gnutella by name (as if they want to hide that from their users). They just say they use a "major" file sharing network. I hope this isn't another attempt by a company to co-opt the g-net at the expense of the other peers. At least by using LW's code it has a good, reliable base to build from.
