Well, Kazaa,Grokster, Morpheus, etc. are going the way of Napster. They're suing back, but I don't think they're going to get anywhere.

yup, plus p2p is for the masses anyways, there have always been and will always be deeper quieter methods of doing the same thing that will go unscathed simply because not that many people know about them

Wow, they're being remotely intelligent.

In any case, I hate KaZaA and will be semi-happy if it goes down...

WinMX all the way :happy:

It could be outlawed to share a file that has any kind of copyright... thn we would have to rely on the radio for sampling music (ewwwww!) :getlost:

Then there'd be more users to choose from, hence shorter queues.

Of course then there'd be more downloaders to distribute across the queues too... there'd be no change.

FYI peer to peer networks are under attack (http://www.wired.com/news/digiwood/0,1412,57112,00.html) via a new method by overpeer. The only network protocol thats immune from this particular style of attack is emule. Yeah it sucks for MP3, but its the only network protocol that ensures that any file gets from point a to point b with zero corruption.

Suppose the solution really is not to use p2p for mp3s:plain:
