It's effectively a site that hosts a .met file with servers not run by the RIAA or an anti-piracy firm (fake servers). Connecting to a fake server can destroy a user experience on the ED2K site. I don't know what that entails specifically, but I've heard about some disabling upload (which would screw over download rates), return only JPEG search results, cause LowID's, and, more dangerously, log your IP and everything you do on the network.
