Their firewall isn't too bad so long as it has the proper front-end (Commodo).

Somewhere, somehow, someone in the judicial system has got to see this as a gross misuse of the judicial process & prosecutes the piss out of the RIAA & MPAA (and anyone else involved with helping to promoting its inception) for having wasted the courts time with this.

Artists & consumers really do need to find a way to finally turn the tables & start extorting the hell out of these two organizations once & for all so we can finally get rid rid of them (or any of their bastard offspring that may shoot up as they start dying off, because you know they'll do that too).

There are issues with Kaspersky as there is with all AV Suites but they do seem to be the best out there of the 20 some I've tested recently.

I won't pay $17 for a music CD or $30 for a Blu-ray so I rent or barrow when ever I can. I miss the days of $5-12 dollar concerts and $5 albums, $100 concerts and $17 dollar CD's is insane, unless it is for Justin Beaver or Cody whatever. LOL

LOL so true! I would gladly give my life just to see the Beav!

I also applaud Kaspersky for this move, and hope that other devs and consumers jump on this band wagon.
