Thursday, November 16th, 2000, Scour shut down its popular file-sharing application. Due to heavy litigation and lawsuits from the music and movie industries, a bankruptcy and a series of layoffs of its staff, Scour shutdown its service to help ease the bankruptcy and sale of Scour's technology.

"Obviously, things didn't work out as we had hoped. The pending litigation has made it very hard for our company to raise the financing that we needed to continue bringing you our exciting services. Even after filing for Chapter 11 protection, we continued bringing you Scour Exchange for as long as we could, while still trying to work out a resolution for the benefit of all. "

Dateline - USA Mid 2002
And in stunning news today, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has closed down all Interstate Highways because people exercise free will and decide to break the law while using the roadway. Ima Moron, lead attorney for the suit against FHWAstated that"Drunk driving and speeding are the primary infractions by users, so we felt it necessary to close down the entire system because some users choose to misuse the system." Instrumental in this landmark highway closing was the RIAA's suits against Napster and Scour Exchange during the year 2000. "Those suits were the impetus behind the 'we can't enforce the law, so let's punish everyone, even the law-abiding' type of lawsuit that is enabling the shut down of the highway system. We are confidant that speeding and drunk driving will diminish based on these closures" stated Ima Moron.
