Up till now the R.I.A.A. (http://www.slyck.com/news.php?story=202) subpoena campaign had been limited to those desolate souls who dared to share copyrighted material on the Fast Track network. Apparently all of that has just changed. In the updated August 22nd list of P2P user names with suits filed against then, 11 names from a non Fast Track network have been added. All of these users are from non other then the MP2P (http://www.mp2p.net/) network. Populated of course by Piolet (http://www.piolet.com), Blubster (http://www.blubster.com), and RockitNet (http://www.rockitnet.com).


-antrojas on MP2P
-Cassandra on MP2P
-Flirt on MP2P
-GenAv8r on MP2P
-Jayzzz on MP2P
-Jgryl on MP2P
-Landmracing on MP2P
-Lprice on MP2P
-slimgoody on MP2P
-Smyles51 on MP2P
-Tori02 on MP2P

These 11 names all appear on the newest published list (http://www.techtv.com/news/culture/story/0,24195,3484600,00.html) of Subpoenas. This has sent shockwaves threw out the community as the news has broke. Until this most users saw that all the subpoenas where from Fast Track and assumed they where fairly safe on smaller networks like MP2P. Perhaps the P2P news community hasn�t been the only one to take note of MP2P recent explosion in growth. MP2P now has three clients to rival the three Fast Track offers.

These suits are not listed on in the E.F.F. Subpoenas Database (http://www.eff.org/IP/P2P/riaasubpoenas/). The database and the most current list of filed subpoenas is from August 22nd. So this means one of two things. One, the E.F.F. is not keeping track of non Fast Track subpoenas. Or that these where all filed sometime after the E.F.F. updated on Friday. P2P Forums will continue to investigate and keep you informed of any updates. This could truly be a big exculation in the copyright shooting war between the R.I.A.A. more Americans then voted for George Bush in the last U.S. election.

Thanks for sharing the story with us JiMiThInG. This is very disconcerting indeed. What does our friend P.S. have say about this?

my same reply from p2pforums.com :
they can see an user like another user , the problem is at the high ...
If they can denounce an user only cause they think "Those files are protected by copyright...this user is guilty" , but this is a no way legally ,
No way to sue users so ... its a theory almost than a real law application
