I read the threads related to the recent discussions of file trading software here such as Kazza and Morpheus and from a users point of view they look exactly the same except for the ads that they show yet each claim to be from a different company. Each program claims to be better than the other choices but to me they appear the same.
My General Question is in the past lawsuits have been filed over a look and feel. The ones that come to my attnetion first are the Lotus VS Borland case with regards to their spreadsheets and Apple VS Microsoft with the laswit based on the GUI. With a program looking and acting exactly (in my eyes) the same how can the companies that produce them say they are different
Please note, I’m not reccomending you find either of these programs and use them, do not put any links to either of them in this thread because that will only get it locked, do not give tips on how to find files with these programs or suggest other programs. I’m asking for information from people who may already be using the programs in a location where there is no ambiguity with regards to their status. I do not condone, support, or promote the stealing, or sharing of intellectual propertity without the approval of the creator and in that situation it is not stealing. I have approached one of the mods with this topic and it in general has been approved.
