A file-swapping network popular with US students that used a superfast internet research network has closed down.
It follows repeated legal pressure from the entertainment industry.

The i2Hub network took advantage of the Internet2 research network which connects some 207 US universities.

Earlier this year, the Motion Picture Association of America said users had swapped films amounting to 99 terabytes in a single day, the equivalent of an entire video rental store.

Our video stores here are dark, little shops
