Much depends on the available alternatives... people are getting gradually more conscious about spyware and having no spyware was probably a competitive advantage to Morpheus, reflecting in both private and public evaluations and recommendations. On the other hand spyware has not prevented audioGalaxy from becoming popular so Kazaa and Grokster might have at least a period of time when they can cash on the privacy of their userbase... until a strong enough spyware-free replacement becomes available.
