Kazaa Admits to Morpheus Shutdown

An Anonymous Coward writes: "KaZaa yesterday admitted to CNET that it was behind the shutout of Morpheus from the FastTrack network. Their reason? The company didn't pay its bills. Still, there has to be more to it than that for KaZaa to cut them off so quickly and unexpectedly, especially since a P2P network's power lies in the size of its audience. There is some weird cat-and-mouse play going on here that can only be damaging to both sides in the upcoming trial against the RIAA and MPAA in California."

Why is everyone so interested in Kazaa etc?

Gnutella is the way. It will win. I got sick of Napster users moaning when it got shut down. I am getting sick of Morpheus users who think Gnutella is new and invented by Morpheus. But most of all I'm sick of all these Matrix references and the newscasters who tell the story like they told Napster, not understanding anything at all. Who gives a shite about the protocol, or the companies? You can get what you want just depends on how clever you are with internet. Better that simple tools don't exist so that mt evening news is not polluted by some dick trying to sound like he is hip with filesharing stories.
