imesh bites the dust

the filesharing application imesh is no longer a p2p service used for unauthorised file downloading.

the RIAA has settled with imesh, the company has agreed to pay $4.1million and to turn its service in to a legal one complying with copyright laws.

Re: imesh bites the dust

4.1 million?
Jesus... why didn't they just deny everything?

This statement is quite insightful though:
Quote:
"Peer-to-peer technologies hold real promise. This settlement with iMesh is an opportunity to demonstrate that promise in the legitimate marketplace," said Mitch Bainwol, RIAA chairman and chief executive
