Kazaa Loses P2P Crown To Edonkey
I(rispee_I(reme writes "According to the network population stats at slyck, FastTrack (home of Kazaa) is no longer the most populous filesharing network. Top honors now belong to edonkey, a network of German origins. (Most edonkey users connect with emule, a gpl client for Windows)."
No wonder I can find so much David Hasselhoff stuff on edonkey.
I've noticed a *drastic* deterioration of quality of content lately, having all those kazaa losers coming over would explain that.
Now, being #1, means the industries will start targeting ed2k and its associated clients next.
Greaaaat...

What is bittorrent?
Maybe you are. I don't know. What I do know is that donkeys are asses. Mules are, well, mules. And sterile. Cross species lovin' doesn't pay.
Now thanks to that statistic the hired goons of the MPAA and RIAA will be trying to break the Donkey's legs.
"Knock, knock, who's there?
Goons.
Who?
Hired goons.

Ideally, name them all profanely, such as fuckcock, shitcunt, ect.
That way, you make the **AA's press releases completely useless, the evening news won't talk about it, the networks are far less likely to be full of fake files, as there are too many to police.
Meanwhile, I will continue to use Shitwhorrent!
It works already!
It seems that the RIAA is hiring programmers to 'alter current internal software suite ('AutoSue CopyProtector') to incorporate new networks and TCP IP protocols..'
That's because the PS2 linux dev kit is warez.
Wow! You mean the eDonkey software is able to detect whether a given file infringes copyright, and automatically makes sure that those, and only those, files are incredibly slow downloads? That's better than anything the MPAA has!

Sorry I should lay off the crack!
I tried eDarl, but couldn't get it to work. Kept asking for a license fee for stolen code, but I didn't know what it was talking about, so I deleted it.
Let me guess, you own an ipod..

look at the headline "RIAA Steps Up Efforts Against Illegal File Sharers, eDonkey Users Among Those Sued"
I wonder why they included that.

Kazaa lite is available on eDonkey.
Eh.
P2P networks like Bittorrent and DC++ have an air of "grab all you can and go offline, fuck the other guy" attitude that I really detest.
/.; I make no claims as to the actual legality of my fair-use rights), as if somehow helping out in the sharing makes one less of a hypocrite in the whole copyright-infringement process.
Gotta admint; when I still used Kazaa I was one of thsoe folks. When I moved to BitTorrent I was at first concerned about the fact that people could download off of me while I was still downloading, myself. But I soon learned that the sharing is more than out-weighed by the benifits of being shared with. I take some small case of the warm fuzzies by helping seed other folks' downloads.
For some reason, it feels almost like not being a leech makes the sharing more legitimate (I said "feel", for the "property-ownership-is-God-you-communist-pirate" corporate shills that like the hang around
