Bad news for all you copyright infringers out there. WinMX has shut down its operations, according to a Slyck News article. No word yet on if this is permanent or not, but there are reports that FrontCode Technologies (the people behind WinMX) have renamed, relocated, and re-registered. They’re now called WinMX Technologies, and instead of operating out of Canada, they’ve moved operations to Vanuatu, most likely to avoid prosecution by Canada and its litigation-happy neighbor, the United States.
I suppose this means I’ll have to get my music from legitimate sources now…
