Mojo - music sharing done right

http://www.deusty.com/software/windows.php

Desuty took a look at how most file sharing systems were being shut down and realized that no user of a local area network file sharing system has ever been sued. There is still internet sharing, but you have to approve the individual before he/she has access to your msuic library. Typically the way individual are caught is that the RIAA will upload copyrighted material from your computer (an infraction) and then they can get a subpeona to search your computer and also bust you on all the illegally downloaded content.

This will likely get shut down one day, but there is virtually no risk that end users will be sued (which is an overblown prospect anyway, as most suits are being dismissed with prejudice these days).

If you're on the cavalier network, I'm FJR2E.
