Artists organize efforts against Record Labels
Artists such as The Offspring, Elton John, No Doubt, Ozzy Osbourne and The Eagles are coming together to form a fund-raising coalition to fight the big record labels.

Morpheus 2.0
I just received via e-mail the “Morpheus Minute”, letting all members know of the upcomming release of morpheus version 2.0. There is a quite interesting remark that morpheus will now also provide links (are they referring to connecting?) to the gnutella network! If So, I smell trouble for other gnutella applications. [...]

Rousting the RIAA
Are you tired of seeing the RIAA’s gestapo style tactics? If so, be prepared for some good news. There IS something you can do about it. If you cut the cash flow to RIAA supporting record labels you can make a large impression on these vultures. www.boycott-riaa.com is likely the most [...]
KaZaa Ignores Court Order to Shut Down
The Amsterdam district court ruled two weeks ago that the KaZaa P2P program is acting unlawfully by making software available that allows users to download music files and must shut down. The court gave the company 14 days to do this or face $40,000 US a day in fines. KaZaa has chosen to ignore the [...]
Andromeda 1.8.5 is out
For those of you who don’t know, Andromeda turns collections of MP3s and other media files (mpg, avi, and many more) into easy-to-use, streaming web sites. It’s not exactly a file sharing program; it’s really about what you do with your files once you’ve got them. It’s great as a personal jukebox, over local networks, [...]
NapiMX 2.0 Released
Adding the resourcefulness of OpenNAp to WinMX has never been easier with the release of NapiMX 2.0. Although NapiMX 1.0 was extreamly helpful adding OpenNap servers to WinMX, many less-computers savvy individuals disliked the difficulty of installation. However, with a new GUI, adding servers is a click away.
With NapiMX, you can combine the renewed [...]
Are File Sharer’s a Dying Breed
Everyone reading this right now would think, “probably NOT”.
but what happens when the big $corporations$ finally figure out a way to dig their claws in and stamp filesharing out? Sure, there will always be FTP sites and elite decentralized networks and hackers. But you’ll find many P2P users are constantly changing their clients/networks, because [...]
False Filenames
Im sure this subject has been covered… and if it hasnt, it needs to be. I frequently use file sharing programs, morpheus, edonkey2000, xolox while it lasted etc..
One common farce ive seen on these programs are bogus filenames. Morpheus has a filter to block these bogus files, but it doesnt work properly. Especially when [...]
