used to use Morpheus briefly back in the day, but I have very little taste for low quality audio files or codecs. I will not even look at MP3 below 192kbps usually and I avoid that codec like the plague whenever possible.
If I could get Flac, Musepack, or Ogg-Vorbis files, then I might possibly consider looking at the P2P services. |

If filesharing programs are all illiminated, I will be so pissed off. Why, you ask? What do I download? Well, two of my favorite television shows, South Park and Stargate SG1, well, no station I get carries new episodes. Both shows are in their seventh seasons, and all I'm seeing are repeats from seasons four and five, respectively. I buy the DVD sets as they come out, and I've spent a pretty penny on merchandise, so if Kazaa goes down, I don't get to watch those shows anymore. That sucks Donkey Ass! And I'm tired of buying CDs and paying these people to hunt me down. Damn it! Where's the money going? New Finger Eleven cd is in a freakin' paper case!!11 I already ripped it. (That was meant as a pun, BTW...) Just scared is all. I hate the RIAA...

Kazaa is all around bad, it installs over 119 spyware scripts and opens at a minimum of 7 ports. Ports that are opened by a approved program through a firewall leaving you quite vulrnable for hackers, and because your on a P2P network your ip is kept in a DB. I love P2P networks its like taking candy from a retarded baby.

check this out:
http://news.com.com/2100-1027-998363.html courts rule that Morpheus and Grokster are legal, comparing them to people who make vcr recorders, sure they are made for legal use but there are those people who will use them to illegally recorder movies. and http://www.dslreports.com/shownews/30887 pac bell filed a suit against the RIAA for illegally getting subpoenas and invasion of their customers privacy. I hope other ISP's will follow pac bell's example. oh and why havent all the porn industries filed suits against people sharing their stuff on kazaa and also all the people who share illegal warez, why hasnt microsoft and all the gaming companies filed suit against them? Because the amount of money and time that would be spent on it is not worth the amount of money that has been lost in the illegal copying of their products. the RIAA needs to wake up.

for all you folks who hate the RIAA and want info on who to boycott. I'll just say this: don't be a pansy and not share just because the RIAA is making a few ludicrous threats, outsmart them. Keep the piracy rife! We'll crush them and they know it. And don't worry about the artists, those of them with a bit of sense (PROPER artists, not manufactured RIAA acts) will simply abandon their dying RIAA vessel as soon as they can, and move on to others. It's the artists who need to wake up to themselves, those who cling to the notion that the RIAA is protecting them in some way are just wallowing in their ignorance. Another way to kill them is to ignore mainstream music completely, most of it is crap anyway - look on the 'net and you can find some excellent free, legal music.

I recently saw a listing on Craigslist where someone was selling a 200 GB hard drive, and the listing said "This hard drive currently houses my 180 GB mp3 collection, ripped at 192k from the original CD. I will, of course, format the drive at buyer's request." |

(I step up)
I subscribe to the thought, "You can't get blood out of a rock." I live in Texas and the RIAA may be able to get a judgement but they will never collect on it. As for the morality of file sharing, specifically music files, my view is that as artists/musicians should sing for thier supper. That is make their $ performing live. The recording industry is raping artists left and right and because of todays technology they are out of a job, much like the Blacksmith of yesteryear. I listen to groups that I would never have heard of before and if they would get out and play I would gladly go see them, as I enjoy a show. The artists aren't inflating the price of music, the music companies are. This is a full fledged revolt by the people and our message is, "Off with their heads!". If I were a musician I would put my music on my website for all to download for a nominal fee, say a $1 or $2 and, in the words of the Right Reverend Ray Charles "Hit the road Jack". As for CD's that can't be ripped and other such nonsence, if it can be played it can be re-recorded, period. Get with the program music industry and stop your insane attack on the hand that feeds you. (I step down now.) |

I may be repeating what someone said earlier, you know, all of this could be avoided if all the record companies would just set up their own version of iTunes. I shudder to say it, but Apple does have a good idea here.
I'd have been more than happy to have paid up to $1 per song so I could legally download it. If I don't like it, I'm out a mere dollar. If I like a few of the songs, I download the whole album, that's still $12-$18 per album. I fail to see the problem with that. As it stands now, the RIAA can go F*** themselves. They'll never see a dime from me again.

Also all the K++ IP blocking is to prevent you from getting the RIAA version of songs, ie full of static, nothing to do with protcting you.

actually
P2P United (which includes: LimeWire, eDonkey, Morpheus, Grokster, Blubster, and BearShare) has agreed to the $2,000 settlement of that 12-year old girl. In addition, MusicRebellion.com (an on-line service that legally sells songs for 99 cents) has offered the girl an account which allows her to download $2,000 worth of songs, free of charge. I'd like to get a sweet deal like that(know I won't if i'm caught. Last edited by mattevil; 09-15-2003 at 10:00 AM.. |
