Default KaZaA Lite Plus revealed as Extortionware

If having the RIAA sue you for your last penny doesn't scare you then perhaps this warning at CDFreaks will. It seems that KaZaA Lite Plus is Extortionware. Check out the definition below:

It drive-by installs, phones home after install, gives itself the right (in the EULA) to download and install software from its servers, and you have to *pay them* for a "subscription" with a credit card to have it removed, then opt out of having the "subscription" automatically renewed.

It contains Mindset Software, "FavoriteMan" and Virtual Bouncer which is reviewed here.
