MP3 fans using the Morpheus file-swapping service risk having their personal details exposed online, according to security experts.
StreamCast Networks, the company that created Morpheus, has categorically denied there is a ‘dangerous’ hole in the software program.
New file-swapping applications are bridging formerly separate networks, promising to improve the efficiency of peer-to-peer searches and sharpen competition among rival software developers.
Hollywood studios and record companies on Friday asked the United States Supreme Court to overturn a controversial series of recent court decisions that have kept file-swapping software legal.
Sharman Networks, parent company of the peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing software Kazaa, are rejoicing at the US court ruling that found two similar P2P programs, Grokster and Morpheus, do not violate US copyright law. However, the company concedes that the ruling is unlikely to have any effect on the music copyright infringement case currently underway in Australia.
It took a boom and a bust to do it, but peer-to-peer technology is finding its post-Napster place in the world.
Kazaa's chief lobbyist, Philip Corwin, says Hollywood is sparing no expense to squash P2P.
Morpheus once led the peer-to-peer file-sharing category, but after its split with sister app KaZaa, Morpheus can't find direction.
Despite the RIAA's efforts to shut down file-swapping services, these 10 apps carry Napster's torch.
The developer of a peer-to-peer file-sharing plug-in for Apple Computer's iTunes music application has decided to give the software a new lease on life, after it was put out of commission by the computer maker's lawyers earlier this month.
