    Oh yeah I have to add what it seems he is being sued for as reported in the artical IS NOT THE CASE! That was al started by someone at slyck who seems to have just made it up. Go figure. Some one should sue them too. This news artical needs to be changed to reflect the facts and stop all this bullshit thats being spread around

    Check this i posted a poll asking slyck to remove support for kazaa due to the fact that Jon is being sued for comments of anonymous posters on his site which has bad implications for all of us then it was deleted twice and i had the following message:

    Dont think you can come on this site and start doing what you like. Please observe the forum rules or you can find a new site to call home.

    Thank you

    Tom

    Nice huh after having been a member for over a year obviously they dont want anyone to ask them to stop supporting kazaathey let you write what the hell you like about everything else and allow you to slag off everyone but when it comes to loss of money from advertising its a different matter! i no doubt this will be removed as quickly so i will be cross posting copys of this on several other prominant p2p news web sites including p2pnet.net just to show how muck slyck supports kazaa – no doubt it will cost me my membership but what the hell got to try and support people like Jon
