  No Subject Given

  iMesh was the worst of the worst pretenders in the p2p space. Entirely tied in with the worst kind of spyware, and oblivious to the choices you made, installing trackers and phone home software even when you told it not to.
  
  The iMesh network was dead.. devoid of users, full of trash, utterly useless before the rot started making Kazaa useless and its doubtful that the company did anything more than look at its expenses when deciding to close shop.
  
  They never seemed to act ethical and if the RIAA had not come along to help them die, nobody would even have noticed that they were gone.
  
  Too bad they didn't shut down before getting served. Now their dishonesty has left a prescedent. Given that THEIR intrusive, sucky and dishonest plan didnt work out, iMesh management is probably relishing the thought of having had one last piss in the pool before going under.
  
  Good riddance in any case.

  Unlike the others, iMesh has a central server through which requests are routed. Their legal situation was very ugly and they needed to settle.
