I used to download different clients from Distributed somethong or another. We were all on different teams trying to let our computers crack encryption. Plus other shit for medical research. Some had prize money or computer hardware, some didn't.
Sounds like the same kind of thing, only for a full blown commercial benefit.
The one time I woke up and heard my modem dialing in and thought someone broke in and was going online. I didn't realize that it dialed in, to dump packets and fetch packets, on it's own. Needless to say, I disabled the automatic dialer.
From what I hear about Direct Connect, I don't know why anyone is bothering with KaZaa.
