Version: BearShare 8.0
"Like versions 6 and 7, it's not the original BearShare!"
Pros: At least they're not including the Zango/180solutions spyware anymore.

Censors what you share, especially if it competes with sales.
Fails to remove DRM drivers + software if you uninstall it.

If you want Chat, get MIRC and your choices are literally unlimited.
Social networking? Ever heard of FaceBook, MySpace or Twitter?

I am having diffuculty ... read more >>
