NeoAudio, a RIP-OFF of CDex

Found this over on Slashdot, it seems that apparently the CDex application (the open source easy to use Audio CD Ripper) has itself been ripped off by NeoNapster, replacing the logo and adding some spyware and adware.

There is a notice over on CDex :-

    There is an application called NeoAudio, which is a straight CDex rip off.

    They changed some string (i.e. replace CDex with NeoAudio), changed the logo and added some nice SpyWare and Adware. I contacted Richard M. Stallman about this issue, but unfortunately I can not do much about it, except for the fact that they are removing/changing copyright strings which they should not.

    So please do not download and install NeoAudio (they probably make quite a few dollars by shipping the adware) and also advice other people NOT to download NeoAudio either, and warn innocent users not to download this application but download CDex instead.
