Sourceforge to SPPF: This is What We Think of Your Stupid Lawsuit!
Two days ago we reported the episode two of the ludicrous lawsuit the SPPF, the French equivalent of the RIAA, has filled against SourceForge (and other major P2P based companies) and the unfounded reasons the ambitious organization brings forward.
SourceForge’s response came also two days ago with a very sharp and right-in-your-face move – the company named Shareaza November’s “Project of the Month”.
“What’s better than totally legal peer-to-peer file sharing? Not much, right? This month’s Project of the Month, Shareaza, is a cool way to way to get your hands on more than 15 million songs and videos.”
“Shareaza’s developers say there’s lots of things that make this project unique. It is probably the only app that supports completely all features of the G2 network, it allows advanced control of downloads and searches and all aspects of the application, it can search by various hashes: sha1, tiger, ed2k, md5, btih (this also allows for revival of dead torrents by search torrent sources using btih over G2 and also allow to download from other networks the same file)."
Shareaza has managed to keep a positive response from the P2P communities. While the bigger names in the file-sharing world still hang on to the largest part of users, there are some smaller applications which have caught strong roots. Shareaza is such an application addressing users looking for an alternative to the more popular programs loaded up with third-party software.
