DONT USE BIT TORRENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is basically bein monitored - and will get heavier in near future... Movie companies software house etc are sick of the piracy so are logging IP's of ppl that distribute/download stuff. Loads of ppl in the US have received letters demanding money etc..... Be careful kids
yup!!! http://www.eff.org/IP/P2P/riaasubpoenas/ americans can now check on the above site to see if uncle sam is after £££!!!
napster was ALWAYS shit... it was just a stop-gap until we got something better... and that was audiogalaxy *bows head* RIP and now, DC is the best we have to offer... no doubt...
Bit torrent is FAR from safe.... Everyones IP is logged when sending/receiving data.....with one of the 3rd party clients u can see the IP's of the ppl u are sending/receiving tha data from/to.... Basically EVEYTHING is monitored - its about how far companies r willing to goto prosicute..... All the way it seems now..
I really don't think that anyone on here is about to get a subpoena off the riaa. I'm not aware of a single case outside the US and it looks like most of the ones there wont stick. Don't panic people! If you want to win this battle it's simple, don't buy any music from the shops whatsoever & keep downloading for free. I give the riaa 2 years tops before they implode under pressure from governments and artists. READ THIS - taken from www.theinquirer.org READER MICHAELA STEPHENS says that if the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is right and that 60 million US folk are file sharing, it's going to take the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) a mighty long time to get round to them all. She said: "I pulled out my calculator to see just how long it would take the RIAA to sue all 60 million P2P music file traders at a rate of 75 a day. 60,000,000/75 = 800,000 days to subpoena each person or 800,000 days/365 days in a year = 2191.78 years to subpoena each person". Michaela points out that it's unrealistic to suppose that the RIAA will have any money left in 2191 years, and she even wonders whether the trade association will exist then. Plus, she points out, given the rate of tech advancement, it's likely that we'll have moved on to many different types of music media in even a hundred years. She continues: " So let us consider more realistic numbers. The RIAA plans to sue thousands of file sharers. Working in increments of 5000: 5,000 people/75 subpoenas a day = 66 days How are they going to keep track of all these lawsuits going on? 10,000 people/75 subpoenas a day = 133 days or about 2/3 of a year. "Keep in mind suing 10,000 people is still only going to impact only one six thousandth (1/6000) of the file traders out there. And who is getting rich off of this? The lawyers. Betcha not a single musician will see a cent of this money. "15,000 people/75 subpoenas a day = 200 days (1 out of every 4000 affected) 20,000 people/75 subpoenas a day = 266.6 days (1 out of every 3000 affected) "When might this actually start affecting us? When 1 out of every 10 is affected? That would mean they'd have to sue six million people. That would take,...(6,000,000/75 = 80,000)... 80,000 days.. or 219 years! They'd have to sue our great grand children!" You've got a better chance of winning over £100,000 on the lottery than getting a subpoena before you're dead. People are just falling for the riaa's spin which I'm sad to see, KEEP SHARING YOUR FILES!
The RIAA are just doing everything to basically try and scare the common 'Download a few tracks off kazaa' style users, and they are doing this by going after the largest users. They are after bit torrent more than most sharing apps as its the most common way to share movies now. Theres a small app called peer guardian that supposidly blocks all riaa related ips from probing your computer but im not confident that it works
u cant block em really - for all we know they cud use standard dialup service to jump on and monitor.. u cant stop it.....its just a case of if you are arsed/scared or not really!
Audio galaxy risen from the dead! www.mediaseek.pl P2P that uses proxys, and you can get streaming movies, and porn www.es5.com Well worth it
