p2p news / p2pnet: They’re starting to come thick and fast.

Here’s another DRM-loaded, corporate music service dressed up as p2p and designed to part you from your hard-earned cash by selling you over-priced entertainment cartel product, ASAP.

The company behind it belongs to the Sharman Networks-inspired DCIA (Distributed Computing Industry Association) which purports to represent the peer-to-peer community while it strives desperately to get alongside the owners of the RIAA and MPAA.

“myPeer brings fully licensed, advertising-supported music and entertainment content directly to P2P users,” says INTENT MediaWorks’ Les Ottolenghi. And it does this through, "closed P2P networks," he says.

Hey, Les, p2p is supposed to be open.

The major labels and movie studios have already thoroughly penetrated the American school system through their spurious Joint Committee of Higher Education and Content Communities (JCHECC).

But because the DCIA hasn’t managed to hook up with Hollywood, thus gaining access to universities and colleges through the JCHECC, myPeer has to try to do it the hard way – under its own and DCIA resources.

"For myPeer’s commercial launch on December 15, 2005, INTENT is targeting students at 200 universities across the country," it says.

Look for myPeer and you end up with something called “OffthePeer”..

What?

Don’t bother to stay tuned.
