Kazaa Workers Hate Their Own Software
Court documents in Australia reveal Kazaa employees hating their own software because it slows down PCs, causes crashes, and fills it with adware junk. Another jaw-dropper is one of Kazaa's partners kept logs of download filenames, which may let RIAA sue more people."It is reasonable that we show ads in order to create our free software," he wrote, "but I do not believe it is reasonable to place a user in a position where this free software will also make their machine sluggish." He added later: "Consider how many people that work for Sharman Networks and its partners ... hate installing Kazaa on their machines."
