I am sorry, Nobby, but for once I have to disagree with you. It is not about power, it is about money. I will repeat what I said in 2005, when I became privy to some reliable information as to what KM's plans were for WinMX. It has been his intention all along to take over WinMX and to use it as a pay-per-download program. It will be his private version of Napster. There is a lot of money to be made at 99 cents per song when you consider that in it's hay day WinMX boasted over 1.5 million users. He had to drive Vladd and the Host File Patch out of the WinMX network in order to make his plan work. Once all servers but his are down, and his is the only patch to be had, he has total control over WinMX. WinMX will soon become "abandonware" unless Frontcode resurfaces to claim their creation. Once it becomes "abandonware" anyone who wishes to can claim the license to WinMX. Who will claim WinMX license? KM naturally. The source code for WinMX...not that big a secret really, after all, who will file a lawsuit if "abandonware" is reverse engineered? What KM gives for free now will cost the users down the road...
