Kazaa filtering is new as of September 12th. I can't believe that it is
even possible to allow this kind of activity. What is going to happen if
this sets a precedent for other companies? I don't want every company in
the world writing letters to Google referencing the DMCA and not allowing me to
get my search results. That's ludicrous! The internet was created to
be a medium for information exchange. Google of all people should fight
this since they are an information querying engine. What ever happened to
the Freedom of Information Act? Guess it went right out the window with
all of our civil rights after 9/11...

I got
a hit for Kazaa lite on the first page....are you sure that you're not an
employee of sharman networks trying to get more searches for Kazaa Lite so it
will get to the top of Google's listing?
sure sounds like it to
me.....
Download Kazaa Lite K++ 2.4.2 - Improved
version of Kazaa LITE !

First of all, I'm NOT an employee of Sharman Networks. And, you must not have noticed that your search yeilded a russian download site with an OLD version of the client. The OFFICIAL page was never revealed to you... ----- Original Message -----

Yeah... But if you read
the complaint that they show it gives the URLs there ^^ But, yeah, I dislike
how the DMCA allows this. =/ You can show somebody
doing/buying drugs on TV� Which tells people how to get them etc� But you can�t
do the same thing online� Sucks eh? |
