>Bearshare has contributed mightily
to the lowest of lows in spyware.
People had to pull his teeth to get him to put a notice and option to not install the spamware.
The people on gnutella "contributed mightily" to keeping it free.
People had to jump all over him to stop spewing his spy packets all over the network. He finally was pressured into sending them TTL 1 or 2 only.
Again, the people on gnutella fought to keep it free.
Now again the people have to put pressure on him to stop. Why does he keep doing this?

The almighty buck $$$$

New strange headers, new encrypted messages to only BS clients, what's next?

>Views like this should really be taken with a grain of salt unless they come from within the developer community itself
There are more than the_gdf group of developers. And the other group doesn't seem to like the idea of greed on Gnutella.

Greed sucks. You can bet the other $$ clients will be thinking up new stuff to make a buck off of all this. Stop them now before it gets worse.
