Yes, the site in question seems to have drawn more than a few eyes to 
it. ;/ It's been up & down all day.
While I don't really think "lycos Europe" methods are sound or 
sustainable; I'm not surprised that frustration with spam leads to a 
measure of corporate vigilantism. I suspect we may see more of this 
various venues to come. Though I doubt it will really help cure whatever 
cause the reaction. Hopefully the p2p clients won't pick up on the scent 
and throw a few GETs out for each search done, etc.  >:)
