Full-length tracks are now available in the US, UK, and Germany, and we’re hard at work broadening our coverage into other countries.

Domain transfer

On 19 December 2007, the project's domain name, shareaza.com, was redirected to an unrelated site, promoting the download of a client known as ShareazaV4. As a result, the original project was forced to move their home page to SourceForge.net.

Since 1 January 2008, the new domain takes advantage of Shareaza's built-in automatic update feature to suggest to users that the ShareazaV4 application is an update to Shareaza. This vulnerability was fixed in Shareaza 2.3.1.0.

Yahoo, which uses SiteAdvisor to filter their search results, no longer lists the domain due to it being listed by SiteAdvisor as a security risk. Other website rating services, such as WOT (Web of Trust), also rate Shareaza.com as dangerous.

Attempted trademark takeover

On January 10, 2008, the new owners of Shareaza.com, Discordia Ltd (iMesh Inc.), filed for trademark registration of the Shareaza name, claiming that the first-ever use of this name was on December 17, 2007. The Shareaza Development Team has since obtained legal representation and a legal defense fund has been set up in order to help fight for the cause.
