Peer-to-peer file-sharing services that encourage copyright infringement and make money from advertising are commercial, according to the Commission. "That is illegal and should be stopped," the Commission said. Examples of such file-sharing services are Kazaa and Morpheus.

So Kazaa, Audiogalaxy, Napster, Morpheus and Limewire are at risk, but WinMX, DirectConnect, Gnutella, and Slsk are OK? How is the "services that encourage copyright infringement" part interpreted? At any rate, it'll take a while before that becomes clear...

Audiogalaxy and Napster are at risk? Hmm, thought they'd already been shafted up the ass.

If they ever think of re-emerging, that is.

services that encourage copyright infringement

I wonder if I'm a service that encourages copyright infringement? :-)
Perhaps I'm illegal ...
