Here is the Zeropaid discussion on this headline: http://www.zeropaid.com/news/articles/auto/0703200 2e.php

Can you all believe that 2 out of 3 judges ruled that the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance is unconstitutional?

http://www.networkofminds.com/networkofminds/searc hnews.cfm?q=pledge+allegiance

...all because of the two words "under God," added in the 1950s. The word God is on our currency, carved into federal and state buildings, spoken in court by witnesses giving oath, and most importantly, its in the damn Constitution itself!

I am not a member of organized religion and fall somewhere between being agnostic and athiest, but I would still proudly give my pledge of allegiance to our flag and this country.

The U.S. was colonized by those looking for religious freedom and this country was founded on God-like ideals.

It's because of judges like these and stupid parents that file lawsuits that our country has become so damn politically correct. Freedom of Speech has no meaning anymore because what I say may offend some pansy-ass jerk.

Whatever, the Supreme Court has already said that if this case makes it to their court, it's dead on arrival and the Pledge of Allegiance will remain legal and schools will be allowed to force their teachers to lead their students in pledge their faith in this country. God is not the issue, patriotism is.

This is why its important to support open P2P protocols such as GNUtella. Several great GNUtella clients make using the network a snap. I recommend either Gnucleus or Xolox. Both connect to the same distributed GNUtella network and both are free to download and easy to use.

You say: "People don't want to store information they did not request." That's the whole point in FreeNet, otherwise something would be near-to/totally centralized, wouldn't it? If not, then it surely isn't anonymous to the degree it is (which is where the security layers, the so-called sucky implementation, comes in). If that's not your purpose (if you "have nothing to hide"), then forget about it!

I'm worried about MediaEnforcer. In an interview conducted by ZeroPaid, they say anyone running a Freenet node would be subject for termination.

Ironically, the RIAA itself leaked an internal memo which contains information that could help in cloning FT. Again, the RIAA's internal memo on FastTrack is an excellent read. Perhaps, with the help of the RIAA, we can create our open FastTrack client.

For those interested, there's an interview conducted by Zeropaid of Dr. Damn. In related news, Zeropaid recently added several interviews, including: Pablo from Blubster, John Marshall creator of Gnucleus (victim of Morpheus PE rip off), the Limewire Team, Team XoloX, and Travis Hill of MediaEnforcer. Interesting read, a while back Zeropaid also reported on Sharman Network's attitude towards Kazaa Lite, the spyware-free Kazaa by Yuri.

Plain and simple, you must be blind, incapable of using Google, or you haven't read a GNUtella News site for years.

Xolox is a GNUtella client for Windows that has supported swarming, resume, mirror searching, and many other useful features for a long time now. So long in fact, that this great GNUtella client is no longer being actively developed.

Seriously, I know I am sounding harsh, but either you are lying or ... well, you are in serious need of being informed. Give Xolox a try. You will have tons of content available to you, if you give Xolox a few minutes to establish itself within the GNUtella network. Searching for and downloading popular content is fast and easy, while searching for rare obscure content is slower and more tedious.

After that, search the net, using Google, for Xolox. Pay attention to dates of the sites/pages were created, pay attention to the numerous news articles and reviews and their dates, and ask yourself how you could be so blind... how you could have been out of the loop for the past couple of years. How the hell could you have not stumbled upon Xolox, the best GNUtella client, even after being no longer being developed for months?!? I think that you checked out Bearshare, Limewire, and formed your opinion. Either that, or you haven't even used GNUtella.

Xolox, a gnutella for Windows, has been out for a long time now, and it allow for a client to serve parts of a *incompletely* downloaded file. Never underestimate the abilities of GNUtella.

We'd rather them stay on FastTrack.

Sorry, but thats a lame argument that even the 13-14 year olds who use Morpheus as their primary source of music can see right through.

If you would rather them stay, then you would have helped Morpheus to quickly solve the problem rather than post on your website enticements for former Morpheus users to join Kazaa.

The real intention was to disrupt all the Morpheus users and try to lure them to Kazaa. Everyone knows it, its obvious, and what Kazaa just said is a really, really, really lame argument.

I highly recommend Xolox to anyone that can run Windows applications and uses GNUtella (haven't tried using it with Wine yet, could work). Xolox supports swarming, segmented downloading, resuming, automatic mirror searching, etc...

Xolox makes GNUtella useful! Trust me, you will find what you are looking for with Xolox, and you will be able to download it very quickly. Other clients lack swarming, which causes downloads to be a slow unreliable gamble, but with swarming, when you select to download a file, Xolox automatically searches for other peers that are sharing the same file - then Xolox downloads parts of the file concurrently from several peers. This allows for you to get maximum use of your broadband net connection. Furthermore, if you are downloading a file, and for some reason all of the peers that you were downloading from disconnect, Xolox searches for new peers with the file and resume the download were it left off. All of this is automatic, transparent, and very user-friendly.

While the company that made Xolox went under due to legal issues, a cracked version is available from the popular P2P site Zeropaid. Check it out! It's free, and it's useful.

Excuse me, but that article doesn't say anything about MusicCity lying. It just says that Morpheus users were blocked from the FastTrack network. Nothing about why.

Well, the following article might be of interest:

"Morpheus is not the probem; KaZaA is the problem" (thanks to whoever posted the URL first)

It looks like there is a bit of confusion about who is to blame here, but considering this article, I am starting to lean over towards those who blame Kazaa for the whole thing:

"Zeropaid Rumor: Morpheus is Under Attack":
"Sharman Networks, located in Australia, purchased Kazaa/FastTrack in January of 2002. Who is Sharman and why would they buy a company that is under major legal scrutiny?
Sharmannetworks.com is registered by a guy named Phil Morle (he is out of Australia). The domain was registered about 1 month ago. He has his own website morle.com.. Within that website he proudly links to an article in a Sydney newspaper.. creations.morle.com He is interviewed and listed as a Senior web developer for Brilliant Digital Entertainment."

BDE is actually an ad company, and they apparently own Kazaa/FastTrack?

I have yet to see anyone argue that MusicCity is at fault here, and actually have any evidence of it being so - be it hard facts or speculation based on other facts.

It looks more like BDE (Kazaa/FastTrack) is trying to make more users use their software so they can cash in on the ads. Just look at kazaa.com:

"morpheus users
come on over to our place...
you'll feel quite at home."

This is a very strange thing to do. It almost looks like Kazaa planned all this and tried to ruin MusicCity, in order to get more users over to Kazaa.

I am usually one to laugh at conspiracy theories, but if you look at all the facts, a picture starts emerging: Look at how Kazaa does business. Look at how they infest your PC with spyware and install things like the "BDE player" without your consent. Look at how Kazaa is in reality owned by a company which sells ads. Look at how they smugly try to make users drop Morpheus to use Kazaa instead.

The situation is chaotic, but to me, it looks like Kazaa have tried to pull several filthy tricks, and I don't think they should get away with it.

The frustration of many of us who use Morpheus when, beginning Monday night, increasing numbers were unable to log in, has mostly been viewed as a mess-up by MusicCity/StreamCast Networks, the parent website/company of Morpheus. This is not the case.

To understand what is going on, it is important to realize that there really aren't three different programs (Morpheus, KaZaA, Grokster) but one core program from a Dutch company. To this core, different "skins" and different pointers to ad servers and the home page of the sponsoring group have been added. Largely decorative elements not essential at all to core functionality is what differentiates one from the other.

The original one was KaZaA, which was based on the technology of FastTrack, a small Dutch software house also known as Consumer Empowerment. FT/CE created KaZaA as its consumer arm. The same small group ran both.

From the beginning FT/CE wanted to run a way-cooler-than-Napster file sharing service but one that would operate with a suitable legal framework, i.e., licenses. It repeatedly, and unavailingly sought agreements with the music mafia monopolies. As a gesture of good faith, it configured KaZaA to not present MP3 search results of files encoded at more than 128kbs.

Hit by a lawsuit by something akin to a Dutch equivalent to the RIAA, FastTrack/KaZaA was ordered to shut down file sharing on its network at the end of November; the company explained that it was unable to do so due to the architecture of the network; and was then threatened with $30,000/day fines for every day it refused to do so.

It was days away from a court hearing/day or reckoning when suddenly, over a weekend in January, the original founders of KaZaA announced they had sold most of its assets to Sharman Networks. The announcement was very short on details. ONE detail however that eventually did come out --it is placed very prominently on the home page of the KaZaA web site-- is that the original developers of the FastTrack technology no longer have anything to do with this project and the new owners now control the further development of the program.

It is a highly unusual announcement, a monstrously successful technology platform goes out of its way to PROUDLY BOAST that the people that brought you this way cool breakthrough platform no longer have anything to do with it. Why would you BOAST that you have lost the development team of such a smashing success???

My *suspicion* is that the original team INSISTED it be made clear they are in no way responsible for what THIS new outfit is doing, and Sharman networks is just trying to put a positive "spin" on what is essentially a statement disowning KaZaA.

It is these new owners, and this new development team, that less than a month after the takeover of KaZaA announce THEY have a significant new upgrade to the program and begin distributing it publicly on Feb. 11.

Like previous upgrades, this one is spread "virally," i.e., upon coming into contact with an upgraded supernode, a 1.3.3 version of the same "brand" of the program is asked to upgrade to the new version. The upgrade executable is kept on every upgraded user's computer, which makes it fast and easy to replicate a code change.

There were no incompatibilities between the 1.5 client and the 1.3.3 versions reported for two weeks. The two different versions apparently interoperated well, even though the majority of the base of the network, people using Morpheus, weren't upgrading as there was no upgrade available for the Morpheus-branded product.

Then the evening of the 25th, out of the blue, Morpheus users started to be locked out of the FastTrack network with the message about their software being too old. Go to the newsgroups and check out the posts. The first ones are Monday evening, and immediately there are "me too" replies. IT WAS A PLANNED, COORDINATED, AND SIMULTANEOUSLY EXECUTED ATTACK.

It did not his EVERY Morpheus user at once because of the nature of the network, many Morpheus users were connected to the overall network through Morpheus supernodes. Over a couple of days, as fewer and fewer Morpheus supernodes survived, more and more Morpheus users were locked out.

The existence of two auxiliary upgrade files offered by Grokster is damning evidence that this was a carefully planned purge of the morpheus client. One deletes Morpheus settings from your registry. The other deletes your old list of supernodes, replacing it with a new list. Upgrade instructions for Grokster, which seems to simply be a stalking horse for KaZaA/Sharman, tell users to uninstall the previous versions of the three programs AND run these two files.

Why? For a long time I had ALL THREE installed. I did not see any issues. But it sure is an effective way of driving any Morpheus clients from the networks.

Now, the grokster tech support people, who for once have been quite active, insist the fault lies with MusicCity/Morpheus for not going along with the upgrade.

But MusicCity says it has no such upgrade available for a very good reason: it wasn't told about it, nor was it offered a software upgrade. As a licensee, it takes the fasttrack technology as is, in a black box, so to speak, and merely puts its own wrapper on it. The head of MusicCity says he isn't even sure who controls FastTrack technology now.

Moreover, MusicCity confirms that the "you must upgrade" diktat isn't coming from them. That being the case, it MUST be coming from KaZaA through their new 1.5 client acting as supernodes. There is simply nowhere else for such a widespread message to originate: either it comes from the MusicCity logon server, or the supernodes.

I tend to believe the statements by the head of Music City, if for no other reason than KaZaA/Sharman is not talking to the press. They won't answer emails, even from their special email address from press inquiries, even when the email came straight from the domain of one of the world's best-known and most prestigious news organizations. They have no phone or physical address that anyone can figure out. Their own website is nonexistent but the domain registered by some fairly low-level employee of this "brilliant digital" outfit.

Given everything that's been going on this week, you'd think they would have said SOMETHING. If the purge had been accidental, or if they had a leg to stand on in blaming music city for the situation, they would have said something. Their silence condemns them. In the court of public opinion, on an issue like this, there is no fifth amendment.

There's no Sharman statement because this wasn't an accidental, or even foreseen but unavoidable result of the advance of the technology. This was planned, premeditated, with malice aforethought.

I stress that there is no inherent conflict in the two technologies, and if there were, we can assume by now KaZaA would have made it public to explain what is going on. And I do not believe there has been the slightest change in the core technology at all: you do not learn, as a programmer, how a complicated code base like KaZaA works in three weeks, and you CERTAINLY aren't ready to release to MILLIONS of users a change in the way the core of the program works in that short a time, and MORESO without the help of the original programmers.

The capacity to lock out older clients was, unfortunately, already built into the FastTrack code base. It was used in the fall to do the upgrade to version 1.3, to fix the "security" issue, which, as not many people know, was simply that an independent team had reversed engineered the technology, what FastTrack used to call its "peer to peer stack," and was ready to go public with it. The 1.3 version of the technology was evidently done in a hurry, as it required a couple of 1.3.X revisions to fix bugs, and the truth is the PREVIOUS versions worked better.

I'm willing to bet what the new development team changed in version 1.5 was the revision number and perhaps a typo or two and the copyright notice. I suspect they turned off the super nodes' capacity to log on clients directly, so that people MUST go through a central server that, it turn, unleashes some ad server on them. At least I suspect so, because I don't see any johndoe@?????, which, it is believed, is how users who bypassed the logon servers were identified. And whatever code already existed in the program to spread upgrades and eventually shut out previous versions was turned on. Those are all the changes.

So the truth is that Morpheus users were locked out by supernodes running version 1.5 of the client software. They were locked out by decision, not by inherent interoperability problems, unexpected clashes, software bugs or anything else like that.

That decision came from Sharman Networks, and if ever a corporation deserved the adjective "shadowy" this must be it. Another person here has detailed the results of an investigation into Sharman, and everything seems to point to is being a front for or associated with brilliant digital. And who is brilliant digital? Go to their web site and have a look around.

Look closely, for example, at the biography of their executive team. Takeover. Buyout. Management buyout. Sale. Again and again and again. The CEO does not boast of the way cool products he shepherded to market, the insanely great companies he built, the technology awards his people garnered. The bio reads like the typical rap sheet of a vulture capitalist.

Look at their products. What do they produce? Tools for adware, spyware, snitchware. Look at their "piracy" policy. In addition to making all sorts of outrageous claims that have no support in law, like the typical LIE that their product is "licensed" not "sold" (a lie because the law regulates these sorts of contracts; a purchase sale contract is what is involved in over-the-counter retail boxed software purchases, no number of statements by one side can change it); they also explicitly PROMISE to load your computer down with spyware and snitchware and cooperate with the Microsoft stooges from the Business Software Alliance in getting you reamed.

And the question naturally arises: WHAT are people associated with such an outfit and such extreme views doing buying control over the leading p2p file-sharing network and its technology?

And why are they doing EVERYTHING in their power to DRIVE OUT the largest of the companies associated with the network, even at the cost of losing MILLIONS of users?

What is it that they have planned that requires that MusicCity be out of the picture?

Given the silence of Sharman, the extreme and peculiar way they have approached the beginning of their ownership of KaZaA, the precarious state of the company given the legal threat hanging over it at the time of purchase, the statement conveying the message from KaZaA's founders dissociating themselves from this current outfit; the links to brilliant digital; the nature and character of brilliant digital management, products, and statements; I think the file sharing community must become extremely alarmed.

I do not think it can be excluded at this point that KaZaA is being turned into, in effect, a trojan horse controlled by the corporate cartels and the monopoly mafias. Will future versions of the software report back to the RIAA and the Business Software Alliance what you're sharing and downloading? What is the relationship between sharman and brilliant digital? How much did they pay for KaZaA? And ... whatever did happen to the lawsuit that was potentially going to bankrupt KaZaA in a matter of days?

I have, alas, no real answers, but answers are required. - jaquero

What's really happening (probably).

I was one of the people who installed kazaa, and after readnig that, it is getting immediately uninstalled.

Moderate that post up!

Just in case no-one does moderate him up, I'm reposting his link with my bonus. I can't be whoring because I'm capped :). All credit due to the guy I'm responding to.

Excellent journalism here.

There could indeed be more to this story than meets the eye. Check out this interesting post to get an idea of some of the mysterious goings on that are allegedly behind the Morpheus switch.

I was too fast... on Zeropaid's site you can still download a (patched) working version. That'll teach me.

Obviously you haven't used GNUtella for the past year. Xolox is a GNUtella client that allows for parallel downloading, resuming, and Xolox will even look for other sources of the file that you are currently downloading, if the current sources are too slow or down. Basically, with Xolox, you search for a file that you want, and you get results with numbers by them depicting how many sources have the file. That way you don't have to decide which source you want to download from. You decide which file you want to download... and Xolox figures out the rest.

My average download speeds on Xolox are around 160Mbs. Of course, I am use the ever so crappy AT&T cable modem service... so other people on faster DSL lines will most likely experience faster downloads.

Next thing you are going to tell me is that Windows is better than Linux because Linux doesn't have any good GUIs or desktop environments for it. Yeah, lets just ignore everything thats out there right now.

Not only that, but Limewire also supports multisource, segmented, or swarmed downloading. Though Limewire has only recently gotten such functionality, while Xolox has had it for the past year.

Oh, and GNUtella is free as in beer and as in speech.

Have any of you not tried XoloX, its my favorite. Grab it here http://www.zeropaid.com/xolox/

At one point Napster will figure out that the record industry was happy about the verdict because it ineviatably means the death of napster.

It may cost them millions of dollars to figure this out, but eventually they will. The other file sharing programs are really taking off. Go to Zero Paid and check out all file share programs. Napster has become unnecessary - and their service depends on them being necessary.

However, my position is that word of mouth has always been among the most powerful means of advertising and the least compensated, monetarily. Accordingly, the legacy financial models of entertainment distribution seem to violate fundamental principles of economics. Those who are creating value in the form of word of mouth marketing and sales have not ever received their proper cut.

Enter Napster, creating vastly more perfect market information in this regard. I think that it should be incumbent upon the entertainment industry to keep up with the times and create new business models that spur technology rather than defending oligopolies and stifling innovation.

In the meantime, we the community must scatter in a number or random directions now that the feds have effectively shackled Napster.

I feel really bad for Shawn, but the only way to keep the spirit alive is to abaondon Napster altogether and go somewhere else ... and we must keep migrating and scattering like this until the feds get the hint that file sharing is not going away simply because the RIAA pays them to prop up their anachronistic institution.

Here are some starter ideas - LET A MILLION NAPSTERS BLOOM!

Hotline
Gnutella
Fidelio - Hotline for Linux
Gnucleus - Another Gnutella for windoze
BearShare - Another Gnutella for windoze
Aimster
And lots more on ZeroPaid

Use either Furi or LimeWire. Both can be found under the clones at http://www.zeropaid.com.

Just to give fair warning to all you you deal in illegal (US) pornography:

I'm currently hacking together a munged Freenet server for a Freenet Wall Of Shame.

I do not oppose Freenet. Actually, I think it may not just be useful in safeguarding our liberty -- it may even be essential.

That is why I am trying to protect content. I am not trying to eliminate underage porn from Freenet, but if we don't do something it will become the focus of the network, and it will be shut down... not to mention all the people such as myself who are not willing to donate system resources to promote the exploitation of minors.

If anyone else here is working on a similar project, please note it below as we may be able to collaborate.

And it posts images of gnutella showing the IP address of the people who are downloading the false images. The images are at the Zeropaid Wall of Shame.
