Gnaaaaaarrn! Did you at least read my posts about how ultrapeers and clustering work? no, of course not. Ultrapeer is not a fiendish plot to take over the world, and Ultrapeer clustering is completely sensible! You don't present any proof of how clustering takes away users or files from other vendors. That's a very nice conspiration theory, but just repeating the old prejudices, rumours and lies over and over doesn't make them real.

And what has the GDF to do with spyware in Limewire and bearshare? If you don't want it, don't use it! Many people accept spyware if they get better search features - see KaZaA. it is not a matter of the gdf to block them. if the users don't want the spyware, they can use another client!

the GDF is far from perfect. but on this level we cannot discuss about it. we won't achieve anything if the same unproven accusations are posted again and again and again.
