Plablo Santo the developer behind Blubster is also the developer behind Mashboxx and Wayne Russo is the Mashboxx CEO and Andrew Lack a Sony VP set up operation Tapas to legitamise p2p and got Pablo and Wayne to set up MashBoxx. Wayne has also publicly denigrated Peer Impact. (Wurd Media's p2p network).Mashboxx still hasnt seen the light of day and Peer Impact is well out of the gate anouncing they are out of beta today.They must be hurting waynes bussiness plans if he has to stoop to trying to deride the competion. Also p2pnets's other advertisers like Bearshare ,Warezp2p are creating paid download models for thier networks and Bearshare are the poster boys of Intent Mediaworks . I used to think p2pnet was a place to get well balanced p2p news but unfortunatly my opinion has changed . Seems p2pnet likes to attack Wurld Media and I hate to call you out on this but,

The Court rejected this theory." Thank goodness the court has at least some semblence of sanity. Take bittorrent for example. It's just a protocol really. HTTP is a protocol, and can be used to infringe (and often is). Should we thus get rid of HTTP? Same with FTP. Make a really stupid law like the entertainment industry wants, and suddenly it's not just the p2p software creators that have to worry, but pretty much anyone and everyone that makes and application that communicates over the internet would be at risk of frivilous lawsuits, no matter how that application goes about doing it. Why not just shut down the internet altogether while were at it? I bet the industry would not mind that at all. “…but what the industry really wanted from the Court was a ruling that a communication technologies that are widely used to infringe should not be allowed to exist, regardless of the behavior and intentions of the technologies’ creators.
