September 22, 200520 yr Bah screw em we always have torrent and mirc if the p2p networks TRULY go down.
September 22, 200520 yr WinMX has shutdown completely it seems after receiving one of the letters. i had been using it since napster was taken offline and made a pay p2p over 3 yrs ago. the worst part is that i was a big part of the Chat Rooms on there and it being taken offline suddenly means that many of my friends from there are no longer able to get in contact with me.DEATH TO THE RIAA !!! They cant win but only force users to either develop or find other p2p programs. Edited September 22, 200520 yr by ScubaSteve
September 22, 200520 yr I read that they've even infultrated the Internet2 networks on college campuses. I sure hope that somehow, someway... someone finds out a way to make a program that is completely and truely peer-to-peer. That way there will be no central location of business. There will be no 'business' to shut down. C'mon all you code freaks! Get to it! Edited September 22, 200520 yr by ringfinger
September 22, 200520 yr The RIAA and MPAA can do as they please and over time they will likely win all the P2P cases but in the end it means very little. The old bastions will remain for awhile. IRC, FTP sites and USENET have been around far far longer. Cases will be won and everything will just go back to being more underground. Piracy will still exist but it won't accessible to the complete moron.rotjong

September 22, 200520 yr Gnutella is decentralized.Oh well, the only use for p2p is downloading a single song.I still buy CD's and DVD's and download series episodes via torrent.I just hope the day never comes when it's digital-buy-only and they shut down torrent.

That way there will be no central location of business.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Hamachi anyone? I suppose that they could close the Hamachi servers, but the connections are directly from one computer to the next. You don't get the speed advantage of BT, but it's direct and file listings are decentralized.
September 22, 200520 yr They'll never be able to take down G1 and G2! Just like Nanaki said, those are decentralized networks.(P.S.: take a look here )
