I feel obligated to write something about eXeem. eXeem 0.20 was released recently. This is a significant program because it decentralizes BitTorrent. About one third of all Internet traffic are BitTorrent files. BitTorrent is an excellent way to transfer large files. This worries the MPAA because now movies are easier to download than ever, and newer technology will probably make it even easier.

Not too long ago, the MPAA followed in the path of the RIAA and threatened legal action. They went after the operators of BitTorrent "tracker" sites, which are like hubs of file sharing information. This was an easy victory over the targeted sites. A harder target would be the distributed nature of p2p.

eXeem comes into the picture because it turns every client into a tracker. Now there are not a few obvious targets for lawsuits, but thousands, or even millions, of people.
