Morpheus Infiltrates Other P2P Networks

Posted by simoniker on from the nobody-is-safe dept.

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 dunno ... I think it'd be funny to see a subpoena for one "Mr. Coward, Anonymous"

    ...or does /. log IPs?

    > Have some sort of way to filter out the fake files put out by record companies and the RIAA.

    You mean, the stuff they try to pass off as music these days?
