If they shut the company and its website down and made it illegal
to distribute the software then this would go a long way to
containing the client. I use an ftp program called hotline, which i
have managed to download lots of interesting stuff from (all of which
i have bought if i have liked it). However 3 months ago or so the
hotline website shut down and there's no where i can find on google
you can get the software (i was trying to find it for a friend to get
him on it). There are clone programs though.
