Yes, one of those, "Too good to be true?", things. I'm sure it is causing controversy, but interesting, none the less. S.

Gnutella, Scour Exchange..have you tried them? Napster is not the only song-swapping software. A group of programmers at a unit acquired by America Online developed a Napster-like program called Gnutella that was released onto the Internet in March. AOL subsequently announced the Web site housing the unauthorized project had been removed. But unauthorized versions of the software remain available on the Net. Unlike Napster, which uses central computers known as servers to link people swapping songs, Gnutella requires no central computer. And Gnutella can be used to swap picture and video files as well as MP3 music files.
