Rumours about eDonkey's stubborn survival are highly overrated, it turned out earlier this week. The peer to peer file sharing network testified before a Senate Committee that it is has ceased to support its network.
The company leashed out against Reuters last week after the news agency reported that the company was facing troubles and had to close its New York office.
Not true, the company responded, we've merely moved. But the website still listed the New York address. And without a peer to peer network, eDonkey is like a grocery store without an entrance.
But don’t' mourn too much over the loss of eDonkey. Parent company still exists and allegedly is working on a new p2p network that no doubt will be shaped to prevent that a recent legal ruling by the US Supreme Court doesn't apply.
The RIAA nfor now has won a battle in the copyright war, but still doesn't look very good in the war.
