Grokster Shutting Down?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the evil-is-as-evil-does dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Yahoo news is reporting that Grokster is shutting down. In a settlement with Hollywood and the music industry Grokster will be permanently banned from 'participating directly or indirectly in the theft of copyrighted files and requires the company to stop giving away its software.'" A continuation on their deal with Mashboxx, or the end of grokster entirely?

    What other file sharing (free) are still left?

    The sheer nature of the internet is peer to peer. You cannot change that. From one end to the other, the Internet, in itself, is THE LARGEST P2P Network.

    Come on, RIAA. I want to see you TRY shutting down the whole internet.
