  1. Let me use this opportunity .. by Eloquence · · Score: 5 · on Scour is Dead
    .. for some blatant self-promotion.

    infoAnarchy reports on the many, many alternatives to Scour & Napster, be it distributed or centralized. It uses the K5 site engine, meaning anyone can submit stories and moderate submissions.

    In our Resources section, you can get an overview of the many available file sharing tools. Here's the ones I would recommend:

    • One of the best alternative feature-wise is Filetopia (its userbase is relatively small).
    • And for MP3s, Songspy is quite powerful.
    • If you like Napster, get Napigator. It allows you to connect to OpenNap servers where any file type can be shared (and which are not concerned by any changes in Napster's business model).
    • A good alternative to the Windows Napster client is FileNavigator.
    • Recently reborn: CuteMX, has a lot of features but requires IE.
    • Somewhat closer to Gnutella, with distributed servers: DirectConnect
    • Distributed, anonymous, encrypted: Blocks

    But again, please come visit us at iA to find out about the best new tools. We know our stuff.

    File sharing will never die.

  3. If you want to be up-to-date .. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1 · on Freenet 0.3 Released

    Check out infoAnarchy, a site that has regular news and links to all file sharing systems.

  4. Clever Strategy by Eloquence · · Score: 1 · on AOL Sued for Creating Gnutella
    The strategy here is simple. MP3Board was sued by the RIAA, which also includes Time Warner. So now MP3B sues AOL (merging with TW) in order to outline their hypocrisy for supporting Gnutella while at the same time prosecuting other file sharing systems.

    If AOL/TW is not guilty for Gnutella, they would be in an awkward position against MP3Board.com who did essentially the same thing (including providing access to the GnutellaNet).

    Of course if AOL loses, MP3Board.com is screwed. If I were them, I'd use the cheapest lawyers and try to get this to the Supreme Court, trying hard to lose in every round :-)
