Morpheus Infiltrates Other P2P Networks

An anonymous reader writes "Morpheus was the number one post-Napster P2P app until Sharman Networks took over KaZaa and got them bumped off the FastTrack network. Now Morpheus is back on FastTrack, according to MP3NewsWire, tapping into it and the other leading networks through a beta of the NEOnet technology in the just-released version 4. Thomas Mennecke over at Slyck speaks more about it with Michael Weiss, CEO of StreamCast Networks." prostoalex also points to a ZDNet article discussing this new version of Morpheus, and notes the Download.com warning that: "Third-party applications bundled with this download may record your surfing habits, deliver advertising, collect private information, or modify your system settings."

    Doesn't this mean now that the RIAA only has to download one program when they want to find file swappers and what not?
    Morpheus always seemed to look a bit dated aswell..

      It is from here that we broadcast our pirate signal, and hack into Kazaa.

    I don't run Linux. I get paid to write Windows apps, I play and write DirectX stuff in my spare time, and when I'm not doing that I'm making music using Windows sequencers. Let me know when I can write and play decent games, use cubase and make a living from writing code under Linux and I'll take another look at tedious hard disk issues.

    Dude, it's now 2004 not 1994. Where have you been all these years?

    And my third party software (VMWare) inside which I run your little programs on a dedicated image with nothing on it but P2P programs doesn't really care. Spy away.

    Some 70 to 80 per cent of Internet traffic is already P2P related.
    In other news, some 90 to 100 per cent of statistics are made up on the spot.
