the riaa are getting clever

their strategy of spamming p2p progs with bad copies of songs is actually working quite well.

im getting so damn pissed off.

The only times I've had it happen to me was with Wierd Al songs. If you just pick the version that gets 30 hits rather than 2 you should be fine.

you see the problem with the popular songs is that just as tehy are releasd the riaa flood these p2p progs with bad copies. Not just one bad copy but multiple ones with different file names and descriptions. people download them, but are often too stupid to delete them, when they find out that they dont work. Because these bad songs are released first, often they end up having the highest number (in kazaa etc..), so quite often you'll find yourself having to look for a song with say 2 users, instead of a 100 for the real one.

that is where it starts to get annoying

i was thinking about this the other day, i mean, what if the RIAA issued a subpoena to an employee of one of the music companies, cos he was sharing music, as surely they cannot tell just by checking downloads what the download actually is, wouldnt it be funny

If the RIAA sues you for using Kazaa, just say that you were trying to help them out by sharing the bad copies of songs.

it all has to come from somewhere.





use Direct Connect... it is far less tainted. not tainted at all in fact as far as I can see, since most hubs ban you if you are sharing partial downloads, which means that you have to move full downloads into a new directory and... work the rest out yourselves.

its not always partial downloads. They are quite often full downloads.

dc++ is good for movies, games and software. I prefer Kazaa for mp3's tho

I've never gotten a bad download, exept for a few movies that turned out to be pr0n, but i guess that was just kids having fun.

Anyways, Kazaa is too risky for me nowadays, when im out doing my communist buisniess. And i've never quite figured out DC yet, so i guess im stuck whit buying cd's* :duh:

I have a hard enough time finding the music I actually want to download anyway. If I wanted the music RIAA are actually trying to stop people sharing I'd probably buy it, but on the whole I wouldnt because its not what Im after. And as a DJ cutting MP3's to Vinyl isnt that cost effective yet.
