CuteMX was an early P2P file sharing program that emerged prior to Napster's demise.
[citation needed] GlobalSCAPE announced in July 2000 that they had shut down CuteMX temporarily due to Napster's ongoing court battles.
[1] The last version of the CuteMX client (2.5) was released in August 2000 with content filtering technology meant to prevent trading of illegal files and to appease the movie and music recording industries.
[2][3] In spite of the positive results for Napster from their own litigation, no further versions of the CuteMX program were released.
Additional client features included DCC (direct client-to-client) transfer for trusted users and private chat and instant messaging functionality.
