Is it just me or do some of these commentaries sound like cheap 60's commercials with their happy go-lucky feel... Give me a break...

Only a freakin momo would want to spend money on an application which he could get for FREE just by using Poisoned. And not to mention, only that same momo would want to pay a guy who stole the code to develop that application he is charging for.

Talk about being a fool, thats like being robbed then going and buying your own items back. Not to mention the immorality behind stealing code and developing a product to steal from artists and THEN charging people to use it...

Do people have no self-respect anymore? JUST USE POISONED, IT'S FREE, and to the momo who said he can get everything he wants with Acquisition, you can do that too by going to 7-11, big deal.

What's the deal.... - Jeff Mincey

And just what code was supposedly stolen? Limewire? Acquisition gives credit for the fact it is based on open source Limewire code -- according to the terms of the GPL. Eagerly I await the specifics, concrete examples, and evidence from you to back up your reckless claim. (We both know there will be no "evidence.")

By the way, not once in your "review," do you bother to say one thing about the quality and performance of Acquisition.

I don't know about stealing, but there was a period of time when he was breaking the GPL by not making the source available. I have not used this product in a very long time and so I can't speak to whether or not the author is following the license now or not.
