Hoserini,

What was the answer?

My PC has been acting screwy for about a year
now and haven't used Kazaa Lite in a very long time.

I imagine it is different now and the old one
probably would not work or would have security flaws.

Could you catch me up to speed.

Here is what I sorta think I know.

Original Kazaa was spyware, etc.

Then someone else designed Kazaa Lite that kept
the cool features but cut out the spyware.

Then I recall something about the original Kazaa
people suing the Lite folks.

(Which to me is rather ironic since the software
permits the illegal mass distribution of intellectual
property.)

So now I assume Kazza Lite had to switch to a different
swapping platform like Morpheus or Limewire.

Is it as easy as it used to be to find titles?

Are there many trojan horse type of security problems
or virus in the MP3 realm that you have heard of?

Perhaps the Hackmeister General Polvisimo will chime
in as well as you.

re: kazaa

sorry. i don't know nothing.

you now know more than anyone in the bar
about it. i still have it and use it once
every six months or so. it didn't cost me
nothing.

sailing was a bit brisk this weekend.
