History
Bearshare was a Gnutella-based peer-to-peer file sharing application, with a support forum.Following the June 27, 2005 United States Supreme Court decision on the MGM Studios, Inc. v. Grokster, Ltd. case the BearShare support forums were closed.
On May 4, 2006, Free Peers agreed to pay $30 million in a settlement with the RIAA and transfer all their BearShare-related assets to MusicLab, LLC. (an iMesh subsidiary).
On August 17, 2006, MusicLab released BearShare v6, a new application unrelated to the original, which does not use the Gnutella protocol at all, but instead operates on the same network as the iMesh client.
In August 2006, MusicLab released another version optimized for video download called BearFlix. The first release was version 1.2.1.
On October 27, 2008, Bearshare v7 with iPod support was released.
