they make me sick, I F*n hate the RIAA

I hope they go down in flames and i'll drink and laugh then entire time.

they cant sue everybody ... its getting a bit out of control nowI hope eventually the government realizes this ... which is highly doubtful.

I think people should boycott all cd's ... dont buy anything affiliated with the RIAA.

just my $.02

Those greedy rich bastards!

I guess file trading via private FTP is going to make a comeback.

why, didn't it say kazaa lite was unaccesible.

Post by **Touchdown038** » Sun Jul 20, 2003 1:12 pm

Yeah, but sooner or later KaZaa Lite, Morpheus, LimeWire, and all the other P2P and Gnutella clients are all gonna be under watch.

Again I say, those greedy rich bastards!

I have not bought a cd since Napster was sued... i listen to online streaming and radio and whatever else =)

What kind of crap? 8 songs? I know its selected artists, but man, that's maybe 2/3 of a cd, this is crap.

Post by **89240sx** » Sun Jul 20, 2003 1:12 pm

I'd offer them a settlement of $8 for that

I support music artists by purchasing their CDs.

Post by **[Zero-S]** » Sun Jul 20, 2003 1:12 pm

So do I...but I'd like to sample it first to be sure I LIKE the CD.

Post by **Rockenreno** » Sun Jul 20, 2003 1:12 pm

I no longer purchase CDs because the RIAA doesn't want me to. Why else would they raise prices and sue all of their consumers? Once the RIAA is put in its place I will resume my normal purchasing habits. Until then.. uh... fight the machine?

it will be so easy to get aroudn the file protection stuff though...look how it is already...they killed napster, so we work around it...remember when napster was the **** 2-3 yrs ago?

Post by **89240sx** » Sun Jul 20, 2003 1:12 pm

IMO Napster was the best sharing program made... alot better than kazaa and all the other garbage ones surfacing

Post by **Rockenreno** » Sun Jul 20, 2003 1:12 pm

I liked Scour better than Napster... you could download movies and I could download faster off it...

Post by **The Mic** » Sun Jul 20, 2003 1:12 pm

i think audiogalaxy was the best

and im just killing time till school starts

Post by **240SXedUp** » Sun Jul 20, 2003 1:12 pm

If you dont share your songs how can they find you?

Post by **Rockenreno** » Sun Jul 20, 2003 1:12 pm

If you download something, they can track you. Remember that your connection to a p2p client, etc goes through many intermediaries on the way. Try tracing the route from yourself to any IP. You have to go through your provider, their provider, etc, etc. If anyone along this path (or who manages to work their way into this path) wants to check out what you're doing, who's going to stop them?

Then again, they don't even need to do that. They could be scanning you right now and you wouldn't even know it!

It may seem like you are far from prying eyes on your computer, but it isn't that hard to get into someone's computer if you are determined to.

Well...i deleted Kazaa, but i moved my downloaded files to a new folder. should that be ok?

Post by **dr!ft** » Sun Jul 20, 2003 1:12 pm

I've long since abandoned Kazaa, but what about Imesh? Does the RIAA have the same intrest in that?

Post by **Hijacker** » Sun Jul 20, 2003 1:12 pm

i don't think they've looked at any major p2p servers other than kazaa.

Post by **240SXedUp** » Sun Jul 20, 2003 1:12 pm

i HATE imesh. I used it a couple of times when i heard they were cracking down on kazaa. its horribly slow, when it downloads at all. i dont they the way it is setup either. for me kazaa was faaaaaaar better.

Post by **dr!ft** » Sun Jul 20, 2003 1:12 pm

^ I totally agree. I started using Imesh after the whole Kazaa mess and am definetly not liking the slowness. But I do miss Napster as well...

BTW, anyone know of a better alternative?

Post by **k6kicker** » Sun Jul 20, 2003 1:12 pm

yeah but getting into thier computer ios terrorism as stated by the patriot act....**** the terroist organziations liek the riaa

Post by **Hijacker** » Sun Jul 20, 2003 1:12 pm

actually, it was an invasion of privacy for the RIAA to pull account info from the ISP's, so we're in the clear for now.

Limewire's not a bad alternative to kazaa

Post by **Twintip_yeti** » Sun Jul 20, 2003 1:12 pm

THis is bs, i cant believe that they are doing this. They just see it as another opportunity to make a buck. i still use kazaa lite, prob shouldnt, but i dunno.
