Gnutella Dying Soon?

87
This will prove entertaining. Just as the RIAA managed to get Napster basically run into the ground for most average users, the MPAA is now getting ready to try and shut down Gnutella. Hey if it makes pings go down, good! :P

The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) has sent hundreds of letters to major Internet service providers and universities, warning them that some people on their networks are violating the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) by trading copyrighted movies through Gnutella.

@Home is playing along too, sending out letters to their customers saying they need to quit sharing movies or they get their cablemodem turned off.

Steve Gibson is the cofounder of Shacknews.com. Originally known as sCary's Quakeholio back in 1996, Steve is now President of Gearbox Publishing after selling Shacknews to GameFly in 2009.
