In this situation, the sensible man would realise that the targets of the RIAA are large organisations that provide a server for the public's use.

So, AG has all its servers in one place, and the satellite knows instantly where to connect to, downloads start nice and quickly. But it can be targeted.

As I say, the sensible man would realise that similar services like Kazaa (bleugh) will also be targeted very quickly.

So the best solution is ... go for a service that really is distributed over everywhere. That means something like DirectConnect or eDonkey. Personally I use eDonkey.

There is a drawback to these distributed services, that you must find servers yourself, and these often only run for a few days at a time... however I think this is no problem as there are quite a good few coordinated ServerLists floating around. I've managed to find tons of fantastic stuff over the donkey already.

Did anybody else here really like AG's lovely search facility? It was fantastic, and I don't like the search facility of Kazaa, for example. There are loads of cataloging websites that provide identifying links for files all over the web. And I'm sure that ain't illegal.

Think of this from the RIAA's point of view: People are starting up and shutting down file sharing servers all over the globe, all the time ... how on earth do you trace or police that? You can't, quite simply. They would probably attempt to stop use of the client program altogether, but once it's out then there's not much stopping it.

I still stand by my decision that using Kazaa is like living in the house built on sand, since that will be under fire soon enough as well. Time for a proper distributed server, I reckon. Maybe the future role of trancEaddict.com will be an indexing service?

Let's hope this post doesn't go unnoticed in the barrage of anti-RIAA flame...

hehehehe... Rememeber how ages ago when AG blocked loads of songs and someone worked away around the X's and we could send stuff to our groups, why cant someone work a way of hacking into the system, I mean when I look at my own tracks and i click on one of my own song, I can see there are lots of other people with it (does that make sense)

anyway all the tracks are still online, their server is still running.... just got to work a way around getting the music.... nothing is impossible

ahhh
that sucks big time
if the music industry thinks i go out and start buying cd/vinyls or anything other they´re even more stupid than I thought.

Excuse me?!?!?! Surely people buy the vinyls they really like but you can't possibly buy ALL the stuff including the ones u only like a littlebit!!

What do you think, (most) people aren't filthy rich!! I myself have spent a fortune on vinyls, but just can't keep up with it financially... as goes for a lot of people. You gotta make priorities, some tracks you buy, some tracks you download....

And furthermore... over 85% of the vinyls I have, I first got on mp3, so don't talking about that 'taking-away-the-profit-BS'!!

*Still PISSED*

DAMMIT!!!!!I KNEW this would happen sooner or later.RIAA are too greedy to just sit and watch AG deliver such a great filesharing service without them getting any profit from it.Greedy assholes!!!!!

"protecting the value of music" my ass.This is ridiculous.Like they care about the artists who lost money on this.Why should they?85% of those artists are all bloated with millions of $$$ already!!!!No,this whole thing is all due to their own f*cking greed.

Jon, Jon, jon, Jon !!!! How stupid can u really be ? mp3's help to promote music and despite what idiots like you think it is infact detrimental to genres such as trance to close down AG, Napster etc because they help to promote trance. I myself would not have discovered trance were it not for the Napster and have gone on to buy many tarnce cd's as a result.I download mp3's and if i like it i usually buy a compilation with the track on it.

Actually i do not even know why idiots like yourself fall for the rhetoric that music companys pump into the media ie "it hurts cd sales". who gives a stuff they earn enough money anyway those tight arse freaks!!Also that crap about "against the law"- you idiot.why the fuck are you even on this site if u feel that way about mp3's

....which is why you are talking such bollocks
you can't just hack into the IRRA system. you have to know where it is for a start, what info they have there that is actually of any use. An nice DoS atack would be nice if they have a website
or if anyone has any IRRA server ip or something..
i'm sure somebody had already started on this feat right now....
lets wait and see..

sorry my comments wer not aimed at people who donwload mp3's but the people who whine about audiogalaxy closing and are to lazy ot bother about finding other sources, i mean this morning ive found 3 ftp's from friends of friends who are all happy for me to use, as well as a couple of irc channels. my point is why do people think its teh end of the world??? look what happened to napster, it went and audiogalaxy came, now asuiogalaxy is gone something else will replace it, what makes me sick is the amount of people not searching for sources of music but asking, i wasnt slaggin off the mp3 system as i do aggree with try before you buy etc as well as livesets

and in respose to my comemtns about it being against the law, it is, hence why audiogalaxy and napster close, not taking sides jsut stating facts.

umm i always thought that tranceaddict was more than sharing mp3's correct me if imm wrong, i mean ive made about 10-15 good friends when ive been to gatcrasher with other ukta's and even more over the summer.
