This might well kill what is left of FastTrack - especially if some hacker manages to crack the automatic upgrade lock and feed malicious code into the network. Considering how the FastTrack network has been effectively overtaken by Brilliant and millions of computers contaminated by their trojan software that might just be a good thing. Running
any FastTrack client - official or 'neutered' - at this stage seems risky.
In retrospect, no wonder that Kazaa wanted to get rid of Morpheus. Realistic or not, Streamcast's business idea is still based on music trading whereas Brilliant wants to change the FastTrack network into a monsterous advertising machine. Well, what else can you expect from guys who pack six different spyware programs into their p2p software. Yikes.
