Title: Internet2 P2P Hub Shutdown
Post by b0b on Nov 15^th, 2005 at 2:37pm

Freakin' crazy. RIAA and MPAA joined Internet2 a few months back, and - as expected - have started flinging around lawsuits. I2's biggest peer-to-peer hub was shut down.

Here's the crazy part. Check out the statistics for I2Hub.

I2 Hub:

Years online : 1.7

Movies Transferred : 1.94 Million
MP3's Transnferred : 402 Million
