Hi,

As a open source fan, I use and enjoy both Shareaza and
OpenOffice.org. However recently  the main site of Shareaza (ending
with .com)  was hijacked by the Société Des Producteurs De
Phonogrammes and it's distributing a fake version of the software.

And I found two places on openoffice.org where there are links
currently pointing to the wrong site for Shareaza (the one with the
.com tld) . These are :
http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/index.html
http://distribution.openoffice.org/p2p/magnet.html

The true official site is now hosted at sourceforge at
http://shareaza.sourceforge.net/
It would be kind and useful to your users if you updated these links,
preferably as soon as possible.

You can find more information on this issue in their forums and their
IRC channel ( for instance
http://www.shareazasecurity.be/forum/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=85 ). Also
note that the human-reviewed Open Directory Project (aka dmoz.org
where I'm a volunteer editor) has updated its links (as did
Wikipedia), you can use this as a mean to double check this
information.
A few other references to the site being hijacked:

http://www.p2pnet.net/story/14455

Feel free to respond if you have questions, I'd do my best to help and
bring more information.

Best regards.

Goebbels was in favor of free speech for views he liked. So was
Stalin. If you're in favor of free speech, then you're in favor of
freedom of speech precisely for views you despise. Otherwise, you're
not in favor of free speech - Noam Chomsky.
