My theory is that a Kazaa SuperNode or Nodes has again "poisoned" the network. I don't think this is anything to do with Streamcast or MusicCity at all. They've washed their hands of FastTrack. There's no reason for them to get involved.

If you read the article further, you'll see that if none of the preset supernodes in the registry is functional, then the client still links to a Kazaa IP address to get a list of supernodes from there.

I'm not sure of the solution to this one. But clearly the network isn't as "self-organising" as we were lead to believe.

I see the possibility for a shadow network existing though, we just need some way of securing the supernodes, and disabling the hidden link to Kazaa forever. However I do feel that intrinsic within the Morpheus client is the potential for external tampering, so if iMorpheus is ever to have a future someone needs to reverse engineer the client and publish the source.

Time for the big guns!
