I probably was not specific enough. The RIAA shut down a visible file
sharing network that used these protocols, nice writeup here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EDonkey2000

I just find it very amusing that lawyers feel that shutting these guys did
anything but push it all underground. From what I am told, the content they
wanted to "protect" is all out there and all available. So what, precisely,
did they accomplish?

hence my joke that if p2p is outlawed, only outlaws will have p2p.

And they
do ;-)
