In 2000, a Taiwanese digital music platform called Ezpeer developed a peer-to-peer filesharing program. The program's rapid uploads and downloads made it very popular with online music traders. In fact, the service amassed 3.5 million registered members and 400,000 fee-paying members. But Ezpeer's success also kicked off a four-year legal battle with the record companies.
