Some people are concerned about

Some people are concerned about the fact that Trillian now charges for instant messaging facilites and reckon this could be illegal as its charging for access to closed networks. Although i’m not a lawyer, I don’t think it matters if its free or not…if you are accessing someones network without their consent, then thats hacking and illegal regardless of the cost you are paying….The other thing is that the paid version of Trillian does not have any difference in the chat side of things to the free version. The paid version only includes things such as the RSS syndication and stock information etc which has nothing to do with the chat side of things…so why the fuss?
