I'm a freshman at MTU and currentally live in the dorms. I personally never used the site but there are a few other sites on the MTU Resnet that did the same thing and to the same extent. Most are currentally down right in fear of being sued and I've noticed about half of the network shares dissapear in the past couple of days. But file trading still does continue although its a bit tougher and no longer point and click. We're all a bit upset by this whole deal and are woundering why they picked our little college to trample on. We college students are not rich, there is no way the RIAA can expect any of us to even pay for one violation much less hundreds of thousands of them. Plus this kid was only publishing information that can be obtained by a simple port scan and some time.
