You are right but they could legally stop you using it – that’s in the EULA you (should’ve) agreed to; just that most folks do not read it. Winamp was good inasmuch that many people contributed plugins for it so you could bend the software to how you want to run it – not In a specific way.
Thanks for signing BTW.

I've signed, but I don't really know what all the fuss is about! Unless a piece of software relies on some sort of on-line 'registration' or 'unlocking', or has a hardware-dependent 'key', then a company can't "kill" it – all they can do is cease supporting it. If you already have a copy running on your PC, there's nothing to stop you continuing to use it for as long as you wish.
Of course, if your'e a 'fashion follower' and insist on 'upgrading' your Windoze every time Micro$oft tells you to, then you might find that eventually that software won't run on some new version of Windoze. But I'm sure most of you are too smart to blindly follow that 'upgrading' path. :-)

(Still happy with Windoze 2000, though '98 was better :-)
