well. Luckily I don't think it will spread very fast or far like that.
Almost everyone uses hashes for their ed2k downloading, and mostly from ShareReactor, FileNexus, etc...
so I don't see how it's going to affect very many people. And thankfully, eMule/Donkey is a bit
more complicated than Kazaa, so you don't have many complete noobs on the network, who don't know how
to protect themselves or stay away from fake shit. :D
