nsane Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 The entertainment industry has been relatively successful in dismantling the corporate P2P scene. What were once free P2P networks have slowly migrated into a vision more acceptable to the entertainment industry. Although this tactic has proven successful against corporate P2P companies and isolating technological progress in the United States, file-sharing progress has instead morphed underground and overseas. Overseas development has kept eMule, Ares Galaxy, various BitTorrent clients and trackers afloat. Open source has also kept one US based P2P client afloat -- a pesky, thorn-in-the-side, Gnutella client named LimeWire.Read the Full Story...

Warezist Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 The company will be fucked up the arse if they persist in trying to take on the MPAA, no doubt. :) Indeed its an 'Open-Source' program... so it'll survive, either way. I still choose BearShare over LimeWire, though. And BearShare isn't dead... MusicLabs still see BearShare.com as revenue, either way. Especially sinse this gay ''BearFlix'' being written. For example... the site for BearFlix is the same web design as BearShare.com. ( I doubt MusicLabs is wanting to use that same web design for the fun of it.) Indeed it looks exactly like the BearShare client and has only came out recently, so it totally contradicts any stories of BearShare disapearing.As to why BearFlix has been written... Some sort of marketing to get suckers being enticed into buying the 'Pro' version, I expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Far_Q_M8 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Ive give lime wire credit to be the only p2p company to have the balls to stand up to the riaa, and after reading the full story it seems to me that bearshare was the one getting fucked up the ass for 30 million lol Good luck to limewire stick it to them money hungry bastards, If no one will stand up and fight then we might aswell all be slaves to the money hungry system.

Warezist Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 BearShare (FreePeers) didn't have 30 pence to give to the RIAA, nevermind $30, 000,000. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Far_Q_M8 Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 read the full artical? Quote "BearShare settled for $30 million; Grokster for $50 million; MetaMachine for $30 million; Sharman Networks for $100 million; and iMesh, who settled for the bargain price of $4.1 million."

Warezist Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Read the accounts of FreePeers and indeed the rest of the so called ''companies''?Non of these companies have that type of money. Again why would iMesh get a ''bargain price'' if the artists are so hurt by illegal downloads resulting in why the other prices paid by other companies were so much higher??? Its to scare the 'market'. ''Oh god... FreePeers paid out all that money, that means we will have to when the RIAA come knocking. And with all the other 'companies' paying out so much money it looks like its inevetable that we'll be next. Oh no!'' Its called propaganda... :sneaky: Keep beliving everything you read, watch and you'll soon belive anything. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
