Morpheus:

The Legend of the Morpheus Brand

Morpheus is a brand of peer-to-peer file sharing products that has been downloaded over one hundred million times all around the world. Morpheus is a communications tool that allows users to connect together with users of the Morpheus software as well as other peer-to-peer technologies to form a user network. Morpheus users may search for and share any kind of computer file (including text, images, audio, video, and software files) with any other user of the network. Software products like Morpheus are transforming the Internet as we know it into a more connected, programmable, and searchable network with unlimited potential uses.

Morpheus Benefits

Morpheus allows you to find files anytime, anywhere, without any waiting. The ease of use with advanced search functions such as multiple searches, keywords and descriptions along with file bundling make Morpheus a superior file-sharing software product.
Morpheus provides users with access to a massive global user network.
Decentralized peer-to-peer networks are the most cost effective way to deliver content because they help distribute hardware and bandwidth costs.
Morpheus allows people to connect directly and share information. The peer-to-peer user network becomes richer and more fulfilling the more people use Morpheus.
