StreamCast Networks' Morpheus, once the Net's most popular file-swapping software, is being reborn yet again with new technology, and StreamCast also has a new CEO: Former chief executive Michael Weiss.
Hoping for a repeat of Napster's flameout, the RIAA and the MPAA are using file-swapping company execs' own words against them in the attempt to close Kazaa and Morpheus.
An incremental update may ease the pain over a delayed version 2.0, slated to come out this month. Painkillers, however, won't help Morpheus' legal headaches.
Hundreds of millions of songs may illegally trade hands online every month, but file swapping may actually be causing people to spend more money on music, according to a new research report.
A US company has quietly attached its software to millions of downloads of the popular Kazaa file-trading program and plans to remotely "turn on" people's PCs, welding them into a new network of its own.
It took a boom and a bust to do it, but peer-to-peer technology is finding its post-Napster place in the world.
You know not to open e-mail attachments from suspicious recipients. But what about playing a song from someone you don't know? Turns out that's another way to infect your computer with a virus.
