While this topic has come up at 'the other place', it doesn't seem to have been discussed here. So, here goes:

There's an interesting article on The Toronto Star website, describing how those who sign up for Kazaa are also covertly made part of the Brilliant Digital Entertainment network. It's a scheme in which your excess computing power and bandwidth would be utilized by BDE for the use of other companies. This is a paranoid's wet dream come true!

Unfortunately the web address given in the article for removing BDE is out of date. For those who are concerned enough to remove BDE, go to:

Every so often I run Lavasoft's Adware software. This program is designed to delete, primarily what I use for, spyware. After I run it, my kazaa doesn't work. I then have to re-install it.

Even with running ZoneAlarm Pro (personal firewall) I'm not 100% sure about kazaa.

I use kazaa because I like my DivX downloads.

the reason it is bad is because they could use YOUR computers resources (memory, internet bandwidth, etc) to pop up ads on OTHER ppls computers. also they can keep logs of what sites you go to to pop up ads on your computer accordingly
i have found a safe alternative to kazaa which runs on the same (musiccity) network that goes by the name GROKSTER

Really Retired.....REALLY!
Don't worry little ones!
There is hope!

go to www.zeropaid.com and download a copy of kazaalite!

I was told about this by a user in the chat room on the music city site. I will love him forever!

Kazaalite is kazaa with all the spyware, adware, banners, and web crap stripped out of it!
