Nullsoft, makers of the handy little mp3 program Winamp, released a pretty neat secure p2p/im client for a small secure network on Wednesday. They called it <a href="http://www.nullsoft.com/free/waste/">WASTE</a>. AOL, who owns Nullsoft, didn't like the legal liability that this application created, so they had Nullsoft <a href="http://news.com.com/2100-1032_3-1011585.html">pull the plug</a>.
Luckily, the WASTE site was <a href="http://www.freedomware.org/waste/index.html">mirrored</a>. I think it's worth checking out. The source is available for anyone that wants to pick up the slack.
