legolas · 10-23-2003, 10:51 AM

0.... *waves to RIAA* =P

gwr_gwir · 10-23-2003, 10:26 PM

of course I myself don't have anything (if the RIAA checks, that is, wink wink). but I know "people" that have a few dozen Gb of mp3 downloaded, plus a few hundred movies..

numist · 10-23-2003, 10:28 PM

just im mp3s, I have 4000 plus change, but about 1200 are actually from CDs that I own or owned, so I guess they dont count? I have a thing for high quality music though, so usually I try to avoid downloading if a friend has the CD

in movies - none really, havent installed codecs since the last install, and prefer movies on my TV anyway because all teh download have shiat quality.

supafly · 10-24-2003, 01:11 AM

Don't know about 6 gigs (and counting). Newsgroups are a valuable MP3 recource, love it

mirevolver · 10-24-2003, 01:14 AM

I refuse to answer this question on the grounds of the 5th amendment.

TheBrit · 10-24-2003, 04:12 AM

I have about 800 songs I have downloaded, about 500 I own.
For mac users:
For one off tracks, porn, etc. use
Limewire (OS 9 + OS X)
Poisoned (OS X only)
Poisoned > Limewire

For albums, applications, stock images etc.:
Carracho (OS 9 + OS X)

Carrracho works on the 'you scratch my back, I scratch yours' idea. Basically, you go up to a server admin, offer to trade the latest Metallica album for an account, they say sure, you upload to the server, you have access to 100s of gigs of well organised fast music.
If you have a decent library already (2gigs of albums is decent) go to pokeys tunes, upload your album list, and the admin will most likely give you an account. Quite the good server.

G5_Todd · 10-24-2003, 07:46 AM

"I have officially downloaded zero songs." G5 Todd!

Frowning Budah · 10-24-2003, 03:36 PM

Vermin, I just bought a set of 8 CDs, off Amazon called " One Hit Wonders and Hard 2 get hits" It has Hocus Pocus on it.

Now to tell you how old I am I think I still have it on an 8 track.

Not fessing up on downloading anything. Look for me on the Paranoia forum

Renegade · 10-24-2003, 10:15 PM

hmmm... I've downloaded a few bonus tracks that I did not get off of my edition of whatever CD I bought does that count? Probably those cheap bastards!

crayzeeredhead · 10-26-2003, 11:38 AM

i have abotu 650 d/l but i am continuing to d/l more! although i dont share what i do d/l ! I feel that if its out ther eto d/l i will, but i refuse to share it! I dant agree that the riaa should charge an outrageous sum for d/ling them though! I would buy cds if they where not soo outrageous!! i have alos started downloading dvd rips

iamjero · 10-26-2003, 12:09 PM

I dont really know, but one thing is for sure I will never buy another CD again. When all that crap went down with little girls getting sued and such I backed everything up and stopped sharing. Screw the RIAA. They have been jacking musicians and the people for a long long time.

Jam · 10-26-2003, 12:38 PM

shhh.... theyre listening... theyre listening... ive said too much

gwr_gwir · 10-26-2003, 11:55 PM

I dunno how manyof you know this, but recently there was a song posted on zug.com, where a phone # for the RIAA was given - 202-7750101, if I remember right.

macmanmike6100 · 10-27-2003, 10:29 AM

hundreds

Snakebyt · 10-28-2003, 12:20 AM

several thousand over the years

bing bing · 10-28-2003, 01:33 AM

300 max.

analog · 10-28-2003, 02:22 AM

a little over 2 GB worth.

NASsoccer · 10-28-2003, 02:23 AM

about 9 gb worth of mp3s :/

Skifter2 · 10-30-2003, 11:40 PM

arcane · 10-30-2003, 11:46 PM

6497 tracks in playlist
Estimated playlist length: 1056 hours 51 minutes 17 seconds

HugAPug · 10-31-2003, 01:43 AM

Right now 354 but I'm getting ready to delete a fair chunk of them. I just have to get myself into the right frame of mind.

matthew330 · 10-31-2003, 11:20 AM

3 trillion - go fuck yourselves RIAA

copymachineboy · 10-31-2003, 12:45 PM

Probably close to 3500

Force 10 · 11-01-2003, 02:34 PM

20Meg

They're not going to bust you for downloading, only uploading.

WarWagon · 11-01-2003, 05:48 PM

Used to have about 4000, but lost them all during a HD crash. Dont have nearly as many since the whole Napster incident, now I usually just buy the CD's or burn them from a friend since I've grown sick and tired of Kazaa lite.

skippy · 11-02-2003, 07:44 PM

I find it amazing how this thread just keeps on going. Thanks for the excellent input from everyone. I have learned a few things from all of these posts so far.

Here they are:

1. Few people have any sympathy for the RIAA.
2.The RIAA suing their customers is working to alienate many many of those customers
3. Many people don't beleive that file shareing is stealing.
4. While people dont mind supporting the artist they feel the recording company rips every one off.
5. Many people really don't understand that the Artist and the recording company are actually one. If the RIAA suffers so does the artist.

Thanks for your input everyone.

Eldaire · 11-03-2003, 12:23 AM

Okay. Cops can trace you through this forum I'm pretty sure. I don't think they can use this as evidence, but they can get alerted and put you under surveilence. So, say hypothetically I knew this guy who posted on tfproject some times. His dad is a cop and has about 20 cds worth of mp3's. (I'm talkin mp3 cd's not audio cd's). Yeah, that's a good cop. Love ya dad! I mean.. er... um...

Lasereth · 11-03-2003, 07:22 AM

My brother broke 13,000 last night. He's one of those people that are downloading just to get every song possible before something bad happens to P2P. Ha ha! I think it's taking up like 50 GB.

-Lasereth

Jimbob666 · 11-03-2003, 10:31 AM

Several thousand. The more obnoxious the RIAA gets, the less likely it is that I will ever again buy a CD. I used to buy CD's of my favorite artists whether I had the MP3's or not, to support them. Then I found out where the money was going, said fuck it, and spent my money on concert tickets instead. That way the money actually goes to the people creating the music.

bach · 11-04-2003, 07:45 AM

800 or so

Sixteen · 11-04-2003, 08:23 AM

Since Napster, probably... 200. I really only get songs I truly like.
