Pablo Soto

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pablo Soto was born in Spain in 1979. In 2001 he developed the MANOLITO protocol, Blubster and Piolet - two peer-to-peer file-sharing servents.

He apparently left the MP2P Community in 2004, Blubster and Piolet slowly began to lose their user base. By the end of 2004, when discussions[1] on P2Pforums.com were focused on whether or not Pablo had left the community for financial reasons, it was known that Pablo has a rare form of muscular dystrophy[2][3] and his progressive weakness was an obstacle [4].

In May 2006, Pablo released Manolito[5], a third clone application, and new versions of Blubster and Piolet.

Pablo now puts his energy on Omemo[6][7], an open source peer-to-peer software for storage space sharing.

In June 2008, Warner Music, Universal Music, Emi, SONY and the spanish association PROMUSICAE filed a lawsuit against his company MP2P Technologies, demanding 13 million euros for unfair competition[8].
