kazaa.jpg” width=”156″ height=”83″ align=”left”>The palpable<br />
dishonesty of all parties in the file-swapping wars is more entertaining<br />
than any disk ever cut by Madonna. </p>
<p>A particularly contemptible example came to light last week. One popular<br />
music swapping product, Kazaa, has earned a bad reputation among some users,<br />
because it installs obnoxious "adware" programs onto their computers.<br />
This adware keeps flinging up unwanted advertisements at inopportune moments,<br />
and people hated it. So some enterprising software hacker created Kazaa<br />
Lite, a clone of the original program with the adware removed. </p>
<p> Kazaa’s parent company, Sharman Networks, has never shown much regard for<br />
the copyrights of others, but its own intellectual property is a different<br />
matter. As rockers Guns N’ Roses sang, "You can have anything you<br />
want, but you better not take it from me." In this spirit, Sharman’s<br />
attorneys contacted the Internet search service Google to demand that they<br />
remove all links to Web sites offering downloads of Kazaa Lite, because<br />
the cloned product violates Kazaa’s copyrights. </p>
