A Guide to Search Results for "Morpheus"
help - feedback - sponsor this guide

"Morpheus" (often misspelled "morphius" and "morpheous") was the god of dreams in Greek mythology, and in popular culture Morpheus is best known as a character in the major motion picture The Matrix. However, the search term morpheus is used most frequently by people who are looking for information about the Morpheus peer-to-peer file-sharing system developed by StreamCast networks. The brand name morpheus is also used by many other software vendors as well as the vendors of many other products and services. Specifically, it is the name of a popular role playing game (RPG) for computers.

Peer-to-peer file sharing software first came under scrutiny because of concerns about copyright infringement by the users of Napster's file-swapping directory service. The Napster system provided end users with a central registry for files stored on the computers of other end users. Using the Napster directory as a central clearinghouse, end users were allegedly able to share and download bootlegged versions of copyrighted music with other end users. Proponents of the Morpheus system claim that Morpheus functions differently, giving the software developers no direct role in the file-trading process. However, record companies and movie studios have challenged this contention in court.

RPGs are combat-oriented video games in which you play a character (or group of characters) in a story. Generally, the goal is to go certain places and perform required actions to advance the story, while fighting off enemies who are out to stop you. Your character grows in power from success in fighting, accumulating weapons and armor with different capabilities, and items with special abilities like relieving combat damage.
