File-sharing firm closes down amid copyright row - Technology - GMA News Online - Latest Philippine News: "A Taiwan-based company behind a popular peer-to-peer file-sharing software has decided to close down over a two-year-old copyright dispute.
The firm, Foxy Media Inc., said over the weekend it would stop its services that it said could be used to download files illegally.
"Foxy's strong file-sharing function has resulted in severe leakage of confidential information, as some users were using the program improperly. For this reason, a court in Taiwan has ruled it to be controversial software," Foxy Media said, according to a report from Taiwan's Central News Agency.
As of Sunday afternoon (Manila time), visitors to the Foxy website (tw.gofoxy.net) were greeted by only a blank page.
