One of the popular P2P sites eDonkey has been shut down, the moment after the District Court in Hamburg, Germany ruled that its server must be taken offline for as long as the range of music files offered for download via the server contains illegal files. As I visited the eDonkey2000 Network just now, it stated “Respect the music, download legally,” sound like the music industry has scored another victory in this week.

eDonkey was first released in September 2000 and prior to this closed down, the users of eDonkey has reached over one and a half million worldwide.
