I2hub Shutdown Due to Legal Pressure

djabbour writes "I2hub, the only p2p client that catered to internet2 users has shutdown today due to legal concerns. A few hours ago, any user on i2hub got a message which read 'RIP 11/14/2005. It was a good run. Forced to shut down by the industry.' The i2hub site has been shutdown, and new clients can no longer login to the i2hub server."

    If you don't want your server taken down, keep the riff-raff out!
    or keep the server in a free country like china or russia where the courts and governments dont even blink at riaa or any of it's hollywood partners, public and open russian ftp servers are just full of brand new movies and music, and nobody even cares ....

    but 2 students in america swap some files ? may you be damned you damn h4x0rs!

    You people over there are really funny with the expression "freedom" lately ... since the rest of the world is a lot more free & liberal than you are (patents, riaa , illegal prisoners, bunch of stupid laws, )

    and before bashing back on the united states thing, try to figure out why rich and smart people are leaving the united states and only poor people or silly are coming in ....
