You need to be quiet, let's keep the BSA off our ass just a few more months.

EDIT: If I'm viewing this wrong then nvm, but I believe I was heightened to the first post... weird... prolly a bug.

my question is that RIAA can log on to it and see how popular it is, what it has, and how many files are being traded or which users that do have it.. Which ip their coming out of and displaying it.. So if their was a way to hide that or not show it, they need to before the riaa starts next with them .. being that their is great content on it. And peerguardian doesnt go off but a few times on there.. kazaa it goes off so many times from fake hashes.

the good thing about ed2k is that the majority of the content 80% lets say are larger files(500MB+). Music if there is any available is usually in limited availability versus a big movie release with over 40,000 sources. But in turn for that the mpaa lurks deep on ed2k because of the larger file selection available. When is the last time someone downloaded a single mp3 file on ed2k it's almost un-heard of lol. so I don't really think the riaa will post a big threat to this network based on the selection of larger files available on it.

it has more album wraps, albums in .rar, zip, and that making it a larger file with more content within it.

Im suprised that no ones sueing anyone for sharing software, and only a few movie sharers was ever arrested or taken to court.
