File-Sharing winners and losers of 2005
File-Sharing winners and losers of 2005: good wrap-up; BitTorrent, Apple (those MP3s end up in iPods) and the open-source P2P apps make the winners list. The RIAA (so much money wasted on lawsuits), Sony BMG (cf. rootkit), KaZaA (had to close down), and Grokster (forced to shut down too) are sitting on the opposite side. [via]
