quote [ User accounts for iMesh, a now defunct file sharing service, are for sale on the dark web.
The New York-based music and video sharing company was a peer-to-peer service, which rose to fame in the file sharing era of the early-2000s, riding the waves of the aftermath of the "dotcom" boom. After the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) sued the company in 2003 for encouraging copyright infringement, the company was given status as the first "approved" peer-to-peer service. ] This is what happens when you try to go legit.

iMesh "rose to fame" so well that this is the first time I've ever heard of it.

I remember it, but never used it. I have trust issues with "public" peer-to-peer services.
Once upon a time I ran a Hotline server, one of the best ways to share your own library. Too bad they never updated that shit, it was great and you could get very granular on ACLs, etc. |
