The only problem with this is that even if you have blocked altnet, but the supernode you connect to hasn't, you may get these results anyway! I got those prodigy results when I was searching for Alias episodes (the ABC series with Jennifer Garner.) It was a music video (.wmv file no less), so I don't understand the connection between the two!?! What's worse is that they're low bitrate files in sucky formats, labelled with phrases like "Brought to you by Prodigy! Buy the CD from blahblah.com you stinking thieves!!!" (OKay, maybe I exaggerrated a bit but you get the idea. )

Personally I don't use KL for music, but this technique annoys me even more than the Prodigy themselves! It's a good idea to let the users generate hype, in a non-spam kind of way, by sharing themed collections etc. (BTW I also got these Prodigy results when searching for Enterprise episodes?! )
