Is anyone familiar with the programm called Skype?

Is anyone here using this programm, Skype?

http://www.skype.com/download.html

I was given this link by a friend. It is supposed to be some kind of voice chatting software with improved sound quality from the makers of the KaZaA. Do you think it is safe to download and use? (After all, the KaZaA was spyware ridden). If you use it- is it any good?

 

Anything from the makers of KaZaA shouldn't be trusted.

See if this is true (found on the net)
From Skype EULA.txt
"SKYPER END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: 9. Disclaimer of Warranties. (c) YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT INSTALLATION OF THE SKYPE SOFTWARE WILL ALLOW THIRD PARTIES WHO ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH SKYPER THE ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR COMPUTER ("OUTSIDE PARTIES"). "

Sorry for the caps but that's how I found it.

 

I wouldn't trust it. The company that made Kazaa (forget the name at the moment) are fucking dodgy, and I wouldn't trust them with a suicide bombing mission.

 

I use it, It works, thats all i care about. My user name on it is... you guessed it, chunky944
