WinMX Suspends Operations

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the i'll-take-non-extradition-ip's-for-500-alex dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Slyck.com is reporting that it appears the WinMX network has shut down its operations in response to the RIAA's letters threating legal action. Although the WinMX network is currently down, this may only be temporary as developers seem to have relocated from Canada to Port Villa, Vanuatu."

    I didn't RTFA, but just by reading the headlines I know that these developers are dediacated...

    They moved so they could develop their product. I don't know about you all, but I'd have a hard time justifying just picking up my life and leaving somewhere else because the RIAA sent me a threatening letter and has jurisdiction in my country...
