KaZaa Steals Referral Links

General

If you have the full spyware/sleazeware version of Kazaa on your machine and click on an affiliates link on someones website; for example a link to a book on Amazon, and subsequently purchase the book, then Kazaa will steal (that is the correct word) the small commission the refering site should have received.

These people are unbelievable in the things they think they can get away with. I really hope they don’t get away with this one.

If you must have Kazaa on your PC use the stripped down KaZaa Lite or at least run one of the spyware removal programs

Thanks to EVHEAD for pointing me to the story on Lockergnome.

How did they found out kazaa was doing this? And I have always used kazaa lite. (I loath popup ads)
