This may be a sign of surrender on the hijacking of their domain name but its good to see the developers are not going away and hiding under a bush as the Cartel may wish.
http://torrentfreak.com/shareaza-team-fight-back-with-panthera-project-080818/The team behind the Shareaza client have recently had a tough time, having been the victim of a music industry conspiracy to steal their brand name and destroy goodwill. Undeterred they are fighting back and today proudly announce the development of a brand new filesharing client with BitTorrent support - Project Panthera.
Back in May the Shareaza team announced “We’re fighting back!” and today we bring good news in the battle to neutralize the nefarious intentions of Discordia - the release of a brand new client. We interview Wout and Alex of Shareaza about their new baby: Project Panthera.
The scum who call themselves discordia (a recording industry front company) have been investigated before by the US govt for possible tax evasion (it has a an off-shoot company registered in Israel), I,m not sure what the findings where but we can be certain they make very free with the lawyers and are light on honest business practices, they have after all made a serious attempt to steal an already in use name to mislead folks into installing a false shareaz (in reality a "spymesh" variant), that is not what it perports to be nor open src, with companies like this and the recording industry hiding in the shadows behind them what chance do honest open src folks have on a limited budget ?
Good luck on the new client guys
