I read on slashdot about emule closing shop and paying the RIAA 30million US rather than go to court over possible copyright infringment.
Will this effect us?
It seems emule is really serverless so in a way emule is just a client from what I've seen, and there are alternative open source clients like the one I use amule.
What is your take on this?

Hi Josh,
we are not affected of this case. eDonkey, not eMule has been shut down. The eDonkey Software was a client software, which did vanish from our client computers during the last 2 years, because there was better software, developed under OS Licence. eDonkey Servers have not used the eDonkey Server Software since a few years, there is better software (Lugdunum) from OS-Community too.
