And the evolution continues. I don’t know why the copyright cartel (RIAA & MPAA) can’t see this, but the combination of the Internet and humans has made software coding much like a single and yet distributed organic entity.
Evolution by natural selection occurs when organisms most suited to their environment survive to propagate their genes, thus guaranteeing the next generation will possess those same attributes. By suing P2P developers and users, the copyright cartel has single-handedly forced P2P to evolve, within a space of 5 years, from:
Napster: Central indexing, 1-to-1 download —>
Gnutella: distributed indexing, 1-to-1/distributed download —>
Gnutella2: distributed indexing, distributed download —>
Bittorrent: central indexing, swarming download —>
and now, ladies and gentlemen,
eXeem: distributed indexing, swarming download
I don’t think there’s anything that they can do about this. The more they try to stop P2P, the more lethal P2P is going to get. Too bad music and movie execs are too busy snorting their lines of coke to wake up their ideas. Good lesson for the kids, drugs are bad for your health, cuz they make you dumb and stupid and unable to adapt to new technologies.

BAH, non-mac compatible.
Great news for the world.
Who uses macs?
Well that’s why they get countries to enact patently unfair and draconian copyright laws, like in our dear Lion City!
if you can’t close down the network, go after users!
note: its got a eula that m$ would be proud of, plus 3 trojans, and it somehow modifies your autoexec.bat persistantly.
seems like piracy now comes with a price.

I’m testing it, and it doesn’t seem to be as fast as other Bittorrent clients… I think I’ll go back to BitTornado. I could still look around for hidden tracker sites.
It shouldn’t modify your autoexec.bat though… that’s strange… and it didn’t install any trojans on mine, just Cydoor, which is bad enough in itself, but its not a trojan.
