Moreover, ES5 has taken an aggressively hostile stance against the movie, music and software industries. There’s none of the wink-wink, nudge-nudge, we’re-not-responsible- for-what-our-users-do stance that goes on with other P2P platforms such as Kazaa, or, once upon a time, Napster. ES5 claims to be “at war” with the major media organizations.
