that used to be the case, but since Music City/Streamcast Networks had a
_major_ falling out with Kazaa over the Media Desktop P2P engine used by
both Kazaa and Morpheus, MC switched Morpheus to a gnucleus clone (itself a
gnutella clone), which meant Morpheus is now using the gnutella p2p network.

Have a read - http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/6/24281.html - of what
has transpired - it sounds messy.
