The following comments relate to this news article:
article published on 22 February, 2006
Any big users of the eDonkey2000 network will already have noticed that huge servers such as Razorback2 seem to have disappeared. The Federal Belgian Police raided and seized the servers yesterday. For those not familiar with how an ed2k server works, it does not host any files, either copyrighted or other, but it does index their location on the network. The eDonkey2000 network consists ...

Totally ridiculous.
It would seems that Mr. Glickman is just trying to rationalize with the other movie and music industry leaders to justify in stopping these servers.
Well, I am sure there will be more servers that will be up and running, and with the MPAA's blantant and retarded tactic in trying to get people to stop downloading movies (such as the ads on movies and in theaters), no wonder they are trying so hard to get the world involved. I mean hell...just seeing those ads made me increase what I was already downloading. So I guess scare tactics and guilty messages don't really affect people.
When the article stated about the use of blank media, that was the nail that hit the head. If you really wanted to stop people from doing this type of thing, then hit the source of the material. Tell them to stop making dvd burners, computers, blank media, software, hell...I am sure they can do all that and still be home for dinner with their families by the end of the day. :/
See, downloaders and uploaders are born everyday, and there are more of us than there are of them. People aren't going to stop whether they shut them down or not. But oh hell, keep on fighting there guys.
What a bunch a losers.

"Razorback2 was not just an enormous index for Internet users engaged in illegal file swapping, it was a menace to society,"
I think we all know who the real menace to society is. What a joke. Soon, computer games stores will be closed won because someone might be able to sneak a pirate cd into the shop without someone noticing. Note that that's only beneficial to the shop, not that person. But yeah, it'll happen.
If Glickman has his way, people will be illegal soon.

What's up with Belgium! First its the cartoons of the prophet Mohammed that causes dozens of deaths, now its a pointless effort to thwart internet piracy! LOOLLL
Close down one server, 10 or 100 more will open in its sted. LOLLL
Glickman is just trying to capitalize on the media coverage on what seems to a pirate as a laughable effort on his part, and a commendable one by his fellow peers.
Glickman give me a break.

Bit Torrent is merely alterior to emule, it isn't a good replacement. It may be several times faster than emule, but there's far less content.
I'd be minorly peeved by this if Razorback was illegal, but since it's 100% legal, I'm very peeved. Just think, no matter which country you live in, most governments can come and raid your house without authority and take your PCs away. Scary stuff.

Limewire's good, but not infallable. The number of files is lower, and while speeds are usually far higher than any other application, the number of fake/corrupt files is higher than emule, and number of downloads are limited. It's also a very basic program, and automatically seems to disable itself if you don't have the latest version.
There simply is no perfect download application out there, the arious offerings are just bad in different ways.

from MPA:
"The operators of this eDonkey site chose not to exercise control over files being traded by users which including those containing child pornography, bomb-making instructions and terrorist training videos."
I guess no ISP "exercises control over files being traded by users"... (well, at least in the free world, outside US)
so are they shutting down ISPs too?...
how about the "child pornography, bomb-making instructions and terrorist training videos" going thru the postal service?... are they shutting down the postal service too?...
or should the postal service "exercise control over files being traded by users" ?...
shame on Switzerland and Belgium for allowing US to enforce it´s fascist, corporation-protecting laws in their territory...

What a great "victory" for anti-piracy teams.
...and even Razorback2 is gone, data flows like nothing has happened (eDonkey is still number one P2P software). =)

And the razorbacks are about 3 out of, oh 100 servers?
Shallow victory. Very shallow indeed. Only when ByteDevils and the donkeyserer networks are shut down will the network ever be constricted.
And yes, queued up to 20,000 places is normal with edonkey, you just have to be patient. Usually most files arrive within a week.

Piracy will always be around. Always. I think the trick is to make software, games, and movies more "reachable" for the average consumer. Photoshop can be close to $1000. For a the average Joe at home who wants to learn how to use it, $1000 isn't gonna cut it. Affordable pricing is the only solution. If the price is right, it wouldn't be worth the effort or risk. $20 for a DVD. Way overpriced. Corporate Greed is causing the thriving Filesharing.
I'm willing to bet thatif Mr. Glickman's house was raided, he wouldn't be 100 percent innocent himself (or the kids)
Things will just go more underground. Thats all. For the real fileSharing GURU's....technology has opened its arms wide enough for many years to come. You will only stop the newbies, or less knowledgeable.
Its best to look at the reasons why so many citizens illegally fileshare and fix the source of the problem. Most cannot afford to buy it. I know i cannot afford.
I would prefer an illegal version over a FREE ADWARE version anyday.

Likewise. I've been buying legitimate media for many years, it's about time I claimed some of it back.

It was not advice it was a statement. I hate it when people are too stupid to understand what they have read. Then have the cheek to comment on what they think you said.
