Thing is.... how do we prevent people from sharing Doom 1 and 2 on this network?

sure, you don't!...
BUT: it should not keep you away from spreading legal stuff! i don't see much difference between putting some file out via FTP and putting it out via ed2k-link... (*)
after all, if you 'release' the files with a name of XY-[
www.abandonia.com].zip people can search for the name in brackets and find (and download) files from your site, without your servers even bothered.
it just is longer-lived than any torrent link...
of course you can get d**m versions there either, but you can get them also on FTP, but no one sane would ban FTP, would he?
apart from that, a game considered abandoned could be spread in any other language than english, as soon as someone gives a link to that game in E,F,D,PL,RU... (name it)
(*) right, i DO see a difference! FTP is single source (putting much stress on the single source; ED2K is multiple source, putting minimal stress on the single sources....
