  1. Gilles Peterson's 'All Winners 2003'

    Calling all Tru Thoughts Fans! Mr Gilles Peterson is currently doing his annual 'All Winners' voting so if you think that our Quantic Soul Orchestra deserve some recognition on there, please go to the below link and show some love. We're pretty damn sure that 'Pushin' On' is a sure fire contender for one of the tracks of the year so if you have a spare moment go to the link below and make your feelings known! www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/urban/peterson Thanks in advance for your support!

  2. Fox News is reporting that ATF (Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) director Bradley A. Buckles will resign his current post and join the RIAA. The RIAA will take the 30 year veteran on board to head the Anti-Piracy unit.

    "Brad's appointment should signal to everyone that we continue to take piracy here and throughout the world, very seriously," said Mitch Bainwol, RIAA's chairman and chief executive officer.

    Its interesting to see what kind of energy the RIAA is trying to promote by hiring Mr. Buckles. Is this simply an enhancement of their fear campaign, knowing that this individual was head of the ATF when things went down in Waco? Or, was this individual hired because of his impeccable reputation and competence?

  3. Speaking with RatFaced, one of the Kazaa Lite forum moderators today and our contact at K-Lite, I have uncovered news that the Kazaa Lite K++ project has been shut down by Sharman Networks on grounds of copyright infringement.

    The project, which had been set up to block spy and ad ware within the Kazaa Media Desktop Program has achieved notoriety within the P2p world through its simplistic approach and success in reverse engineering the Kazaa application.

    However, the program infringed on the copyright of Sharman Networks, the company that now own and program the Kazaa Media Desktop application, after the purchase of the code and copyright in 2002. The FastTrack (Kazaa) network is financed through advertising systems, which Kazaa Lite K++ does not include, and so was seen as a threat by the owners.

    Sharman have threatened legal action, and ordered that the offending content be removed from the official Kazaa Lite sites, including http://www.kazaalite.tk/ which now contains no reference to the existance of the application.

    RatFaced said that the decision was “Ironic, that Kazaa is complaining about copyright issues, especially as K-Lite ++ stands for everything that Kazaa CLAIMS to stand for... but fails to deliver.”

    We will perhaps never see Kazaa Lite again, but we can hope that users will remain aware of the spyware that is hidden inside the Kazaa application, which is used to finance the creation of the software.

    eMule and WinMX offer spyware-free alternatives to Kazaa.
