  • skelliewag, on 08/19/2008, -0/+22Funny how the music industry fails to question whether falling CD sales are the result of piracy -- or -- because the industry does everything it possibly can to make us loathe it with the fiery passion.
  • Dumbledorito, on 08/19/2008, -2/+23I'm waiting for Lion-O.

    >:-)
  • kirado4, on 08/19/2008, -0/+14so the music industry tries to steal someone elses trademark and program and claim it as there own.. that's called PIRACY and copyright infringement..

    Remember children, stealing is not wrong if you're a big company..

  • idntunknwn, on 08/19/2008, -0/+11The original definitely wasn't. The one that's currently available on the hijacked domain probably is.
  • Arwin101, on 08/19/2008, -0/+8Sounds interesting. Unlike some of the others here I will use it, though not just yet. The release version sounds ok, and besides its a chance to say yet again ***** THE RIAA...

  • triont, on 08/19/2008, -0/+7Only after it was hijacked.
  • inactive, on 08/19/2008, -0/+5I thought I'd switch it up a bit but underestimated the laziness of the digg community.
  • apox24, on 08/19/2008, -0/+5ans =

    ***** the RIAA
  • mojoel, on 08/19/2008, -1/+5Thunder, thunder, Thundercats! Hooooooo!
    That was Panthro, by the way. :)
  • praisethelard, on 08/19/2008, -0/+460% of the time it works, every time.
  • connieLingus, on 08/19/2008, -2/+6how many file sharing apps does the world need? frostwire pretty much ended the search for me, with utorrent for bigger shares.
  • victorc26, on 08/19/2008, -0/+4Ah, I see.

    Good for them, then (For fighting back).
  • inactive, on 08/19/2008, -1/+4I like your reasoning but I buried you for not using the 'Reply'.
  • rxbudian, on 08/19/2008, -2/+5a peer to peer is just a tool, same as a gun. There are legitimate uses for P2P software.
    so, who is supposedly the bad guy, the gun maker or the user?
  • thealsir, on 08/19/2008, -0/+3You know, if these hawks screwed their heads on right and realized that if they brought out good music, and didn't have a draconian attitude toward file sharing, people would be more willing to allow them to be middle men instead of loathing and trying to shun them at every possible turn.
  • Dumbledorito, on 08/19/2008, -0/+3I can't help it if Shareaza's coders can't spell properly. :)
  • garrettg84, on 08/19/2008, -4/+6@connieLinugs
    free software and open software....the power of choice =) the more the better...the more distributed our usage of applications and protocols, the harder it is to kill the scene.
  • flynnfx, on 08/19/2008, -0/+2No, the spyware/adware infested was Kaaza - Shareaza was awesome - my donation has been sent - looking forward to Panthera!

    Aug 25 - launch date.
  • inactive, on 08/19/2008, -0/+1People are lazy and don't care if I added a little bit of cleverness to a classic. I still dugg Arwin101. The more people saying it the better.


    ***** THE RIAA
  • dandv, on 06/15/2009, -0/+1Pantheraproject.net has been hijacked as well. Everything but the frontpage is down (the wiki, the bug tracker, the forum etc.)

  • apox24, on 08/20/2008, -0/+1I know I know, what's worse is that I used Matlab to decode it....sorry dude...
  • garrettg84, on 08/19/2008, -0/+1'f em, 'f em twice
  • bbliss17, on 08/19/2008, -0/+1This is awesome. I loved shareaza but the newest version was weird. I will check this out.
  • CVL4317, on 08/19/2008, -4/+4so, who is supposedly the bad guy now, the music industry or the "pirate" ?
    condemning stealing yet... steal..
  • slugicide, on 08/19/2008, -2/+1Copying. Copying, not stealing. There is a difference.
  • slugicide, on 08/19/2008, -2/+1I buried you for dickish burying.
  • tristar2831, on 09/20/2008, -1/+0You can try the mp3downloadnet software. That's where I get my songs from.

  • garrettg84, on 08/19/2008, -1/+0FTRIAA has already been stated, see the 1's and 0's in ih8ducks88 post?
  • zlatinb, on 08/19/2008, -2/+1Shareaza sucks, has sucked and will continue to suck. They can change their name all they want, but their software is still crap.
  • JamesMorris, on 08/19/2008, -8/+5Wow what fools still use programs like this.
  • victorc26, on 08/19/2008, -9/+3Wasn't Shareaza a spyware/adware infested installation?
  • mufffin, on 08/19/2008, -7/+1Project spyware?
  • deviationer, on 08/19/2008, -11/+2F U C K Shareaza

    worthless piece of ***** program. It's hurts P2P more than it helps.
