RIAA affiliates hijack Shareaza.com, threaten suit

There's bad, there's low, and then there's RIAA and friends:

"Late last year a company affiliated with the French RIAA hijacked the Shareaza.com domain name from the original, open source project's owner. They are passing off their own for-pay software, which violates the GPL, as the real thing. Now, having stolen the Shareaza project's identity, the scammers are threatening legal action to shut down the real open source team."
