Wow this really sucks! I used AllPeers all the time. I didn’t want to turn back to Gigatribe so I found another software called 2Peer. Haven’t really heard of them but their application rules. You can try it out at (link)

copyright infringement

Define copyright infringement first. If a TV program is shown in England that will never be distributed to the U.S., is getting a copy of it from someone in England an infringement? Show me the economic loss! You can't -- because they're not trying to gain money from me by selling it to me (or even "giving" it to me by an ad-sponsored TV broadcast). Foreign TV show "dark distribution" is the biggest component of file sharing as survey after survey has shown.

I will miss AllPeers. It was the first time I was easily able to 1) chat with people (I don't otherwise do IM, and the hell with Twitter!), 2) swap files with friends, and 3) tap into torrents.

It was wonderful that it worked in Firefox. And it worked well too!

Om,

With all due respects to AllPeers.com, I have never understood how file sharing services like these can make money given copyright infringement being the core of their service offerings. This being the case, how is venture investment even justified? Perhaps you can share your thoughts given the number of startups in this space that you've likely encountered as a publisher. I'm keenly interested in what you think investors see as the opportunity long term.

Thanks in advance,

Curtis

[...] P2P Start-Up AllPeers Closing Down AllPeers, a personal P2P file-sharing startup based in Oxford, England, is down for the count. The personal P2P file-sharing space is a crowded one; not many companies can claim success. AllPeers tried to get traction by going open source back in March 2007, but that failed to boost their growth. GigaOM has the full story. [...]
