Yes Firon, I realised that so have updated the post. First thing I've done is contacted Bostik and reported BlueTack for possible copyright infringement or certainly bastardising a useful products name. Come on guys, lets see ya add me to yer blocklists once you get home from school Now I see on the bluewack forums they're talking about Ludde probably IP-recording anyone through the search feature or that uTorrent in other ways might be secretly communicating to those bad guys. Now, I know that in Sweden they don't really care so much about P2P piracy which is cool of course. But Sweden being part of Europe they obviously do care about people's personal data being transmitted to places without their consent. About programs monitoring users etc... Did you all accept the agreement that came with uTorrent that said it would be recording your info and send it off to third parties? No? EXACTLY. Just try "installing" (if that is the word) uTorrent. You see nothing of the sort. So if Ludde was recording anything without our consent then I'm sure Sweden would be interested in him breaking all sorts of privacy laws. We could basically sue him and possibly make him cry even more than a 12 year old girl once the R**A gets hold of her People are so paranoid, and most probably have no clue what a DLL is anyway. The way I see it Ludde can sell off whatever parts of uTorrents internals or routines he wants, it's his code. As long as it's a one-way process with only stuff going out of uTorrent and to third parties, rather than stuff coming into uTorrent from third parties then it's cool. The worst thing he could do is make it open source and have much lesser programmers adding pointless routines and bloat to it. It's not like the BT protocol itself is top-secret now is it? We've already seen Sony had no problem ripping off open source code, so I'm quite sure the bad guys could have done something with the Azureus source and not had to pay anyone a dime. But they didn't - because just imagine how god-awful slow it would be using a legit-only/pr0n-sponsored/DRM-only/whatever BitTorrent client the evil guys might have made based on the Az code Their pr0n banners won't be able to rotate so fast and their DRM-sniffing routines would really grind things to a halt. Much better to use the better, solid core of uTorrent for whatever crap they plan to unleash on us. We don't have to use it, it makes Ludde $, and we can continue using uTorrent. I know how you feel Ludde and have done a lot lot worse than you and been called anti-P2P numerous times with my blog I can't wait for that to be put on a Bluetwit list. Keep up the good work Ludde, keep on with those betas and don't let the paranoids/ba**ards get you down
