"Turns out through the S3 API you can actually spin up EC2 instances" Can you really use the S3 API to spin up EC2 instances? or is the guy just mixing the fact that the credentials he used for S3 can be used for other AWS APIs ?

Sorry, a bit of an overstatement. I was comparing it to Napster, and I thought Kazaa also had a central repository. But both Kazaa and eMule have the same "supernode" like search mentality as bit-torrent (in bit-torrents it's

They did protect against it (from what I understood), they just didn't make public the existence of the virus. Frankly, I'm not sure how many of their clients (being one myself) care if they publicize anything, as long as they pro
