Anonymously written freeware lets YOU bust a Napster/Gnutella user. Anonymously written by the RIAA, no doubt.

of different media to put the responsibility back to the offending users. The current version supports Napster and Gnutella services ... giving you enough identifying information to either submit a ban on the users from the service How do you Ban a Gnutella user?

NOTE: The public version of the Media Enforcer software does have limits- the Napster service will not return user names, and the Gnutella service will return incorrect IP addresses. This is done so Media Enforcer will remain a tool for anti-piracy, and not a piracy search tool. For a copy of the full version, simply email us with a short description of who you are and your intended use of the software. We will evaluate the request, and respond promptly. Yeah, this looks really useful. I feel payware coming up....
