Morpheus 5.2: P2P Podcatcher

The latest version of the free Morpheus P2P client is tailored to podcast listeners, including one-click subscriptions, subscription management, search and directory, and iTunes integration. Frank Ahrens in the Washington Post gets why this is multilevel-smart: "Adding podcasts means more users, and more users means more ad revenue on the free version of its software. Also, perhaps more importantly: fewer copyright problems. Though podcasts are copyrighted like all music and movies generated by labels and studios, most amateur podcastsers do not forbid distribution of their work." (Emphasis added; and see.)
