It was fun while it lasted...

Another one bites the dust.
Does this effect aMule? (I don't think so).
For a/emule filters, go to www.bluetack.co.uk

emule/amule is a ed2k client in the same way as edonkey. So yes

Did the court order them to put up that stupid message meant to scare people.

"Your IP is blahdiblah and has been logged"

Yeah whatever...

[jdong]

<sarcasm>
oh no! my IP has been logged! Whatever shall I do?
</sarcasm>

No, eMule (and therefore aMule) are fine. Nobody used eDonkey anymore, anyhow. eMule does require a server, unlike bittorrent; however, there are plenty of servers out there. The p2p scene will be unchanged by this development.

In case anyone wants to read what happened to eDonkey.

eDonkey settles fo $30 million (http://slyck.com/news.php?story=1288)

[Rhapsody]

I never used eDonkey2000 anyway. I did see a couple of download links that used it, but there was always regular download links too. BitTorrent is all I need.

[sup]

With Kademlia around, I am not sure if eMule needs servers...?

[Reshin]

Meh, false alarm. It's just that the official edonkey-client has been shut down. Emule and ed2k ain't going nowhere. Keep on muling!

[bugzor]

edonkey2000 will download automatic update which will remove it

that wont have any effect to other clients / servers

since ed2k doesnt have 'central' server it cant be shutdown (that easily)

[Rhubarb]

So it all sounds as if it's mostly a publicity stint.

Nice to know that I can visit the edonkey page if I want to know my IP - without all the ads that come with whatismyip.com

Thanks RIAA for this new handy tool :D

lol :mrgreen:
That's about all I have to say about this.
