In WalkTalker's latest newspaper there was a link to this fresh News.com story where Nicola Hemming, the chief executive of Sherman Networks (the Oz company that presently owns Kazaa) throws some interesting comments about Kazaa and BDE:

News.com:

The news has also thrown the program's owner into the defensive. Hemming defended Brilliant Digital's plan as a way for all Kazaa users to have a "richer P2P experience," including faster downloads, new kinds of content, and the ability to be compensated for use of their extra computing power.

But Hemming also spotlighted her own companies' privacy policy for the first time, describing exactly what information Kazaa keeps.

The policy reads much like other Web sites'. The company collects a considerable amount of data in its log files, including Internet service provider, Internet address, date and time of visit, and number of clicks. It does not collect personal information from log files, the company says.

The company also does not collect information on what files people are searching for or storing as part of the file-swapping program, a representative said.
Knowing some of their background one gotta smile to these expressions like 'richer P2P experience'. Why don't they leave our P2P experience as it is and give us money instead? After all, they plan to use our computers for their business...
