Also, musiccity has never made their own protocol, they used to host opennap servers, then they licensed kazaa's technology, but without installing adware apps, so they had a bigger user base. Now kazaa just "updated" without including morpheus in the mix, and on the kazaa page, they say "morpheus users,come on over, you'll feel right at home." pretty sneaky.
However, there was an open source solution to it before, called gift (generic interface to fastTrack, or gift isn't fast Track, and now gnu internet file transfer). Fasttrack (kazaa) made everyone update back then so they would not interface with this public, non adware software, and locked out gift users like they morpheus users.
So all this time, kazaa was spnging money off of morpheus, then screwed them. Genius, in a m1cro$oft kinda way.
