- Thanks for reminding me to load utorrent and complete my ratio. Hopefully I'll be flagged a terrorist and sent to Guantanamo just in time for the new Room 101 law.

- man, there still people selling bootleg CD's in the street everywhere... why don't they arrest them? They are making tons of money out of it. Leave those people alone and go for the real deal... but no, it's much easier to go for the easy target.

- Does it bug anyone else when Limewire is mentioned as a separate netword?? To the best of my knowledge, Limewire (and Frostwire) use the Gnutella network, which is already mentioned in that list... feel free to correct me if I'm missing something though, I'm not a Limewire expert.

Exactly what I was thinking. They said "services" not applications.

Over 8,000 new cases in 17 countries are being announced today, including the first ever cases against illegal file-sharing in the two biggest markets of South America and in Eastern Europe. A total of more than 13,000 legal actions have now been taken outside the United States.
The campaign involves illegal file-sharers in Argentina, Austria, Brazil, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Singapore and Switzerland. The industry is targeting uploaders using all the major unauthorised P2P services, including BitTorrent, eDonkey, DirectConnect, Gnutella, Limewire, SoulSeek and WinMX.
