Updated: Hate RIAA? Wait until you read this. . .
Read the article here
I dont know about you, but I really hate RIAA now. . .
Will they ever give up???
Now that's fucked up 
RIAA won't be satisfied before everybody who owns a computer was a RIAA employed monitoring the computer 24/7.

The 5 big cd companies are laughing now.......WAIT A FEW MONTHS tho then it is USDEPT OF JUSTICE VS. BIG 5 CD COMPANIES IN COURT. Seems they get all mad at us for file sharing but then again, they look the other way and price fix cd's (which is illegal). See ppl who hate file sharing.....eg. metallica (1984...they got in trouble for redoing songs of artists without permission).....they only richer when they took on napster. Dr. Dre....stole george lucas's trademark THX and used it in his album without permission....he is getting sued. Seems to me...ppl get mad (like the RIAA) but then they will be caught for doing something illegal. Seems like the recording companies say to us....don't file share then they commit a crime doing something wrong too......who is right and who is wrong. ANyways...even if it got passed....i'm canadian....it's a different country with different laws.
Residents of the United States may not be able to take action if thier computer are f***** by these viruses they want to introduce, but, as far as I know, the rest of us do not live under American law.
Then again, sometimes you wonder.

Don't live in the US but if they did that I'd leave MP3's called FUCK THE RIAA and stuff hehehe. Why not just rename ur mp3s? Might be hard but change
Riva - Stringer to like Rva - Strngr
haha, i really doubt that the government will approve this. There would be lawsuits against the RIAA for breaching personal privacy. Renaming your mp3s would be a good idea if it ever happened though.
what a bunch of losers!
btw I have been under attack by hackers, wankers, cyberidiots etc etc for 2 years now, but our home network is still secure...
whatever action taken, no government or company can shut down the internet!
OK guys, a few things:
Firstly, this article is NINE months old (the date at the top reads Oct. 15, 2001).
And secondly, this won't happen. How can they tell the difference between "illegally" downloaded mp3s and backups of CDs that you have bought? Simply, they can't. The idea behind this was to shut down pirate FTPs and stuff, not break into and spy on everybody's personal collections.
Make no mistake, I f**king hate those (*^%#s in the RIAA for everything they have done to impede the progess of technology and online rights, but in this case I think Wired News was just going for a catchy headline. Sorta unlike them really, Wired is generally one of the best websites on the net (excepting TA and google of course 
)
i say go the fuck ahead, RIAA. i may not be that extremely safe with firewalls and proxies and a removable usb hdd with mp3s, but what the FUCK are you gonna do about all of my mp3 cds, eh, fookers? in digital world, where to copy something takes neither raw materials nor lots of time, there's no way piracy will be cut off.
and if they do actually do something like that, i see how there is a possibility for numerous hackers to unite together in a digital rebellion against RIAA.
Why not just write protect ur stuff then? Just make it read only and so u can't delete it and they can't do shit.
ok wait, if it's the Recording Industry Asociation of AMERICA then they wouldn't have any rights in Canada or any other countries?
im fed up with these assholes. they are taking it way too far
helllllllllll fucking no theyre not gonna hack into my computer to delete all my mp3s they trippin..its called invasion of privacy..those damn sluts doin everything to get people to hate em
I think the RIAA are going too far here, one most people store there Mp3's on CD's anyway. There is going to be some law against them to access your PC without permission without a case, as the data protection act , I think this may happen in America , i find it hard to belive because they would need to gather evidence first that you have mp3's , imagine if they deleted your own personally created Mp3's by accident , you could sue there ass. The RIAA are prob getting 10% of the profits which could be millions in compo. There is no way they can remove mp3 piracy , just like crime in your neighbour hood.
What we might see in the future is a new type of mp3 with a digital signiture like 128bit encrytion and to use it , it has to register to your OS some where. who knows ....

For every action the RIAA attempts to enforce, the free-thinking world and hackers as well will just find ways to counter, whether it be through legal means or otherwise. I loved the case a month ago where the "hacker-proof" encoded CD's were broken by a Sharpie along the rim of the CD! I could only imagine the top exec. meeting they had after that discovery!
The bottom line is file sharing is no different than swapping cassette recordings of my favorite records with my buddies as a kid. As long as I didn't make a profit, it is not illegal. Whatever regulations the internet will bring in the future, file sharing simply must go unregulated according to our current interpretation of the Constitution. I'm sick of the RIAA spending millions of dollars (some of it my own tax money) fighting this case that ultimately comes down to the freedom of sharing music with others. There are many other crimes in the world I would like others to focus on, just leave my music alone......

and also the shirt company that got sued for printing those lines on their shirts... it's like you can sue everyone these days for no reason....

I don't see the issue...
Ok...
1) This article is old and even if they did...
2) Could easily be remedied with Windows2000; just encrpyt your mp3 files and only give the Admin group access; don't log in as admin...(duh)...log in as a Power User.
Problem solved...
and besides...I'm in Canada...
Updated: Hate RIAA? Wait until you read this. . .
Here is an update to the new strategies they are trying to get passed. Note how this affects people in EVERY country, not just Americans.
I was afraid it would be much worse than this proposal, but knowing RIAA, they will not be satisfied until they are big brother. . .
(is there any way to update the title of the thread?)
Phuk 'em! I say, bring it on.
The concept behind the RIAA is simple: you cannot listen to music that you did not buy. HUH?!?!? Does this really make sense? It truly amazes me the gall these corporate yahoos have. What a corrupt line of thinking. Should we therefore ban radio? Free concerts? Cassette recordings? Ah the greed money brings into society. The almighty dollar rules over all, including that which goes into your ears.
Just a little too much corporate greed for all to digest right now. Enter stage left: WorldCom. RIAA and it's record label companies had better watch their step, or the stage of corruption and bankruptcy will be all theirs one day.....
