Title: WTF!!! No more eDonkey????
Post by: Bomb-A® on September 13, 2006, 03:21:31 AM

When I started eDonkey, it automatically shut down and asked me to uninstall.
This is what is posted on the eDonkey homepage http://www.edonkey.com/:



If you steal music or movies, you are breaking the law.

Courts around the world -- including the United States Supreme Court --
have ruled that businesses and individuals can be prosecuted for illegal
downloading.

You are not anonymous when you illegally download copyrighted material.

Your IP address is 203.212.218.137 and has been logged.

Respect the music,  download legally.

Goodbye Everyone.





this is some bullshit...fuck them...why dont they understand that people will always find a way around



peace

hmmf..


"The eDonkey network (also called eDonkey2000 network or ed2k) is a file sharing network used primarily to exchange music, films and software. While it was claimed to be shut down by the RIAA on September 12, 2006 [1], the network is still working. "


"On September 13, 2006 the firm behind eDonkey, MetaMachine Inc, agreed to pay $30 million dollars to avoid potential copyright infringement lawsuits from the RIAA. As per the agreement, eDonkey will discontinue distribution of their software as well as to take measures to prevent file-sharing by using previous copies of their software."

In 5 years we will only dream about the internet being as cool as it was back in the day, trust me.. the internet is going to hell. Lawsuits for sonning people, and no illegal downloading without consequence happening.
