All Good news here folks, It looks like the number of folks being scammed by the RIAA front company spy(I)mesh is going down as word of the wilful misleading activities of the scammers spread.
http://www.p2pnet.net/story/15892The Shareaza team is taking on Discordia, the company which hijacked Shareaza, wrongly believing to get away with bare-faced, blatant corporate theft, all you need is the Big 4, Vivendi Universal, EMI, Warner Music and Sony BMG behind you.
Shareaza is one of the oldest multi-network p2P file-sharing clients supporting Gnutella2, Gnutella, eDonkey2000 (eMule), HTTP, FTP and BitTorrent protocols in C++, MFC and ATL, for Windows, p2pnet posted when news of the theft first broke.
Now, “”As you will remember, our project’s identity was appropriated late last year by the recording industry funded Discordia Ltd. shell company and handed over to the recording industry ‘approved’ iMesh for commercial exploitation,” says Shareaza in an email.
The Shareaza Development team is also announcing today that we’ve started work on Shareaza 3.0. Put simply, we’re not going to let the identity thieves slow us down at all.
Shareaza 3.0 will be a significant milestone in Shareaza’s long history.
For a start we’re switching to the brand new QT 4.4 application development framework. This will allow us a lot more flexibility for a redesign of Shareaza’s network core, making the current Gnutella, Gnutella2 and ED2K networks more modular.
We’re also getting rid of the deprecated MFC code to make 3.0 more plug-in friendly and many of the existing features our users know and love will also be re-built with portability in mind.”
This is good news and common sense, putting some distance between themselves and the scammers is a wise move, and now it seems they have some serious legal backing from the EFF and Richard Stallman of the free software foundation, I can see the RIAA getting a bloody nose at the minimum out of this blatant name fraud they have conducted.
Important Notice : Shareaza.com is now a SCAM site, the shareaza.com site was taken by scammers.
Always get genuine Shareaza from http://shareaza.sourceforge.net/
