I blogged a few weeks ago about how eDonkey was apparently the new king of P2P. Their stay at the top sure didn't last long. Looks like the MPAA and RIAA have lawyered them into folding. I never used eDonkey but it's amazing how fast these new technologies come and go. It's nice that services like iTunes are sort-of embracing the technology instead of fighting it but I still think the prices they are charging are crazy. I think they would actually make more money if they lowered their prices so that people wouldn't be so interested in getting everything for free.

And, for better or worse, it's here in America that we are driving all of the P2P services out of business. As mentioned in the article on Betanews, we might start seeing more technological innovation happening overseas because companies are afraid of what might happen to them in the US.
