The RIAA's latest attempt at curbing illegal peer-to-peer downloads appears to be working. On September 15, the group sent out cease and desist letters to seven undisclosed P2P networks. As of Thursday, it had appeared that at least two of them have now closed their doors.
According to reports, WinMX has ceased operations, and its Web site, winmx.com, has gone offline. The offices of another file sharing service, eDonkey, were reportedly closed and the company's phone was disconnected, although its Web site remained online Thursday.
I've read that WinMx is working on moving their servers out of Canada to a different country where they can get by the legal issues... I hope it's true!
