RIAA Takes Down Music Downloading App Mulve

Last week an impressive new music downloading application hit the mainstream. Mulve became hugely popular and demand was so great that the site’s servers couldn’t handle the pressure and fell over. Today the site is down again, not through excessive demand, but thanks to the lawyers at the RIAA.

mulveLast week we reported on a very impressive music downloading application. With a claimed database of 10,000,000 tracks, Mulve can give many torrent sites a good run for their money.

Choice aside, Mulve is particularly fast too. Searches yield results quickly and tracks download at excellent speeds, yet this software is not a traditional P2P app – in fact, there is no uploading required at all. Pulling its data off fast servers in Russia connected to the country’s biggest social networking site, downloading from Mulve is about as ‘safe’ as it gets.

Last week, after generating dozens of headlines and excitement around the Internet’s tech sites, Mulve’s homepage went offline, unable to cope with the demand.

TorrentFreak has learned that the site was getting more than 30,000 visitors a day and they were carrying out around 15000 searches every hour.

The site soon returned but those wanting to use the software today, however, will have problems. It is completely down, not due to excessive demand, but due to the lawyers at the RIAA.

“Just letting you know that Mulve has received a DMCA take down request from the RIAA, so it needed to be taken offline,” a Mulve spokesman told TorrentFreak.

While Mulve hosted no illegal files, it appears that the RIAA discovered that a small element of the site was hosted with US-based Hostgator. Once that element was taken down it was enough to effectively disable the site.

It is understood that Mulve has a new update in the pipeline which will improve the application, but there is currently no news on when the site and application will return. TorrentFreak is assured, however, the downtime is just temporary.

In the meantime, as we wait for news, we can ponder on the meaning behind the word ‘Mulve’.

“It is an abbreviation for Music Love,” the developers told us.

Update: The site’s back up (for now).

    “While Mulve hosted no illegal files, it appears that the RIAA discovered that a small element of the site was hosted with US-based Hostgator. Once that element was taken down it was enough to effectively disable the site.”

    Ok. I highly doubt out of a “claimed database of 10,000,000 tracks” they were all Indie artists. It also doesn’t make sense that if there were no “illegal files” hosted, why or how can RIAA force a company to stop hosting Mulve if Hostgator wasn’t doing anything illegal in the first place, or that Mulve wasn’t declared by their government to be hosting illegal files?

    Power grab by the RIAA? No court decisions made on the legality of Hostgator hosting part of Mulve, and yet they just walk up and demand they stop hosting it?

    P.S. Anybody have any idea why the openbittorrent and publicbt trackers have been offline for over a week?

    I realized that after posting my comment.

    “which is why everyone ough tto just block all USA websites”

    Actually I think we should get rid of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act entirely as it is abuse so much and completely bypasses the legal system. Nothing should be taken off a website or the website shut down without a proper court review to determine whether or not an infringement or illegal activity has happened. The DMCA allows people to just up and demand something removed or a site taken offline even if no infringement or illegal activity has been made.

    Fuck you ‘mulve’.

    All it does is download stuff from VK (which you can do for free).

    “search.exe” aka Mulve is a old app, but when it got ‘known’ by a lot of people, they started to advice on the program and other stuff.

    Mulve doesn’t host anything themself, but the claim credit for the music.

    so if it was stolen from pirate does this mean pirate.exe is the same and no longer connects?

  • mulvaholic

    the app didnt do anything more impressive than sending a simple search query to vkontakte’s (russian social network) servers. Vkontakte are kind/stupid enough to return a simple webpage of results with direct links to many many audio files uploaded by their members. Mulve was just taking advantage of this and parsing the results into the application. You don’t really need mulve to do this, you could do it on vkontakte directly without using mulve, so dont panic.

  • Whatever

    I guess there needs to be a RIAA leak soon.

    @DHT
    DHT also has a central point of failure which was my conclusion when someone explained how DHT/PEX works.

    Randomly searching 2^32 addresses times 65536 ports is hardly practical (Is probably a bit lower due to implementation of protocols).

    Any decentralized system until now relies on knowing at least one sure point to start (even freenet needs a contact point somewhere, but read about the need to go to an IRC channel and get someone to trust you a long time ago).

    The puzzle that needs to be solved is how to create a P2P network that keeps all files, can’t be poisened, infiltrated, is searchable without detection, can be connected to without knowing any peers or single point and independent of local laws.

    (BTW: Tor depends on TOR hosts which are the central points)

    I hope the people at the RIAA will just give up. Let’s say Mulve does get shut down eventually, the next programmer will just swoop in, take the code and re-release it.

    The RIAA would then probably take that one down as well, and it forms the perfect vicious circle!

    They’ll never win, and yet they keep spending all this time, effort and money in a obviously useless cause.

    Hey guys, don’t worry about it. We will be back up pretty soon. The part of the website that was hosted in the US infringed on no copyrights, but because it is in the US, the DMCA stands.

    Also, to those who keep thinking we stole Pirate’s code, this is completely untrue. Pirate gathered data from our app early on. Also both programs are written in a completely different language and Mulve dates back far later than Pirate.

    I would not use BT to download music when music is number one point of anti-piracy attack.

    My choice would be just to use Google as in…
    intitle:”index of” +[band/song] +mp3 -html -htm -php -jsp

    one to one/many download is safer and cant blame you if placed available.

    Pirate is just an open source implementation of what Mulve does.

    Also, I’d rather use Mulve than creating an account on vkontakte myself. I avoid social networking sites like the plague, so having Mulve taking care of that problem is good in my book.

    I think it is pretty clear that Mulve intends to make another attempt at tapping into the highly lucrative market for copyrighted content. If this is indeed the case, they will get shut down again just like they did the first time.

    wish TPB guys the best of luck. however i doubt that they will be successful, especially now that the USA wants to pass a law to censor the internet and enable ‘snooping’ on users even more than happens atm. i gather the vote is to take place next week. with all countries scared of doing anything to upset the USA, i think the guys are on a loser here. governments dont like not being in control, especially if they think they are losing money. this whole issue has been nothing but a scam to take away a free service from the people, using so-called ‘piracy’ as the excuse! everything today revolves around money, control and restriction of ordinary citizens!

    Dont you guys learn, downloading from a central resource that has no reason for being except to allow infringement is a waste of everyones time because it will be taken out rapido, take the time to see how the different p2p apps work and you,ll see that although they are not as fast as the server to user model they are a lot more reliable and resilient.

    It’s back up again only they changed the download link to use “magnet” protocol (which was smart since their servers were bombarded before).

    As for my comment before (i.e. #52), Mulve really is like thepirateapp (I compared search results) but it is better in certain respects. The big one being that you can “extend search” to get more results. thepirateapp sadly lacks this feature. Still makes for a good backup though should this be taken down again.
