why not automate the search for such.
its rather easy to search on the kazaa network for such files, then make a
connection to the user involved on 1214/tcp and send him a message
(user_text - doesn't need your kazaa id anyway) to turn it off...
he will fix the problem if he gets an irritating popup from a non existing
evilhacker@hax0rnet luser telling him you have access to his personal
stuff every 10 minutes or so ;)
might make the unsuspecting wintendo user a bit more careful....
about 60 lines of code would do the trick incl. error handling and
base64 encoding (although the message only needs to be encoded once unless
you wanna make something really fancy out of it with changing messages
and stuff ;)
still think kazaa should go opensource though ;)
