It seems folks if your a big news organisation you dont even need to get your fact right in stories .
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11838369/WinMX is currently shut down amid litigation filed by the Recording Industry Association of America, but Leidig says there are still ways to use it. "They popped back up in some illegal or rogue sites that hackers say 'Let's run it without the server that's shut down.'"
But the biggest danger, Leidig says, is that file sharing programs give potential criminals easy access to your personal information.
While we all despise the sad criminals who pray on children and trade vile images across the internet this article is suddenly switched from fact to "la la land"
lets lash down a few facts here to correct this propaganda effort.
1) Winmx Technologies voluntarily shut down to avoid
potential legal action no legal action actually took place in any courts to make any decisions of legality regarding the networks operation.
2) What laws does this person think make a cache server illegal ?
Perhaps he may share that information with the rest of us, no actual file transfer data ever passes across a cache server, they seem confused between a server
here and a cache server although they operate entirely differently.
I think we can all read the simple smear campaign ( speaking about terrorism or paedophilia and p2p in the same breath ) being mounted here and we should as a group defend our network from slander, may I ask all those who are willing to E-Mail NBC to ask for the facts to be corrected or a rebuttal added to the report, falsehoods allowed to be freely aired like this are a danger to honest and decent citizens.
