Most people don't join a specific server regardless of what they're downloading, they just use the first one they are able to connect to.

There is 60+ emule servers, How are you going to share the files on all those servers ?

If this happens on a GCW server, does that not put GCW one step closer to being a "warez" site. I dont know alot about laws, but is it worth the risk ?

That means hosting a emule server that spreads warez is legal?

yes, but this again increases problems with using emule ( If GCW has need to host over 600 files at once ). Now you suddenly have have 2 clients share the files.
There is no "singel" reason why emule is a bad sollution, just alot of small once
If you want another p2p network then bt, why not use one of the serverless once ( With encryption ). That should eliminate most of the emule problems.
Another thing, how many ppl have a folder named "game cracks" where they store most of their cracks ? Im guessing they either delete the archive once its downloaded.
Or have it stored have file stored in the folder that contains their CD backup ( ie. .iso or .cue ).
Since you can only share folders in e-mule. That means it now takes on avarage 3 "shares" to include 1 crack. ( .bin / .cue & crack). Again you run into a problems
(including shareing the image files might be illegal. )
