Good points. There is surely the possibility to neuter any particular Morpheus version from the backdoors and control holes that Kazaa has left there but I am starting to doubt whether it is really worth the effort. Rather than guessing what tricks Kazaa will play next through the supernodes under its control it might be better to leave the commercial FastTrack network altogether and focus on safer and spyware-free open source solutions. This also seems to be the conclusion of giFT developers who are currently focusing their efforts on OpenFT protocol and clients on their new
SourceForge site.
