We knew it was coming being just a mater of time before the legal wheels could smash the code that a lot of people where using to avoid being spyed within the Kazaa Media Desktop Program. It was a reverse engineered masterpiece. [Zeropaid]

I guess it was only a matter of time before the commerical folk closed the door and ensured that markets would have a shot at users again. However, IMO, it might be more likely that legal pressure is forcing them to tighten down the app to protect themselves from liability issues.

btw is there a copy of the source out there?

i’m also am looking for the source code to kazaalite. I’m hoping to either find an updated version some where that supports the MAGNET-URI Project or add support for it my self.. although i would much rather find an updated version and save myself the pain.
