In the beginning there was Napster. And the people said it was good. But the record companies smote it down in anger, saying that to share music files was to steal. Thus did the sharers/stealers create Grokster, Kazaa and Morpheus. And the Recording Industry Association of America visited a plague of lawsuits upon them.

The software lets users set up private, encrypted networks of up to 50 anonymous users over the Net.

Though not officially supported by any company, the program is widely available online. Free
