I can understand not liking what the riaa is doing, but come on, how can you guys be so upset at a group for doing there job? Piracy does hurt there sales, not as much as they say, but it hurts them none the less. I can understand being upset, but your hatred seems a little unfounded.

it's shit i know - but once they start this sort of thing theres absoloutely nothing that any of us can do thta can stop them....well unless we go all John Rambo on em

it looks like they are only targeting college networks atm, it will be very hard to target the dc software makers as now theres such thigs as dc++ which is openourse, 1000's of people have had a part in the making of the software.

the servers could be targeted, but it takes more effort to close down one server than create 10 servers so atm dircect conect is safe, so long as it isnt a localized college/uni network...

The RIAA dont seem to understand that they will never be able to stop the music of the record labels they represent being shared. Be it on FTP's, Napster, Kazzaa, Audiogalaxy - over the years you've been able to download all the popular big money making stuff and they have no way of stopping that.

It's the specialist dance music which is on the Hub, and if that was to close it would be hard to find an alternative.


In other words i am saying they have no way to stop their big money pop shite being shared - so why do they bother trying to stop our stuff that has fuck all to do with them? Are they simple???

They need to grow up, they were late with the mp3's. Had they got into it early, they could have controlled it. Maybe they will stop spending money fighting it and more time and energy marketing decent talent then people would buy it.

Side Note: Anyone know where I can buy Ulrich Schnauss - Far Away Passing Trains IN CANADA!

I hope the individuals arent hit too hard, I hoped at the very most theyre forced to shut down.

Nikola Gala - Blue Impulse
Ozgur Can Feat. Nick Beman - Not Even Winds
Powerplant - Turn It To Gold (Madoka's Mix)
Sultan & The Greek - Wadi (Original Mix)
Carlos Vives - Comu Tu (Paul Oakenfold Mix)
Bjork - Violently Happy (Mercurio Mix)

lets move the server to a non-RIAA country

i have no interest in buying or downloading wat the riaa is trying to protect, like the eminen and p diddy mainstreme stuff. i do download alot from the hub but mostly live mixes and preview of songs that i want to buy on vinyl. without the hub i would of bought so much less than wat i've bought now. i support my artists and hope they do well financially so they can keep bring us these amazing tunes.

whats the actual likely hood of DC being shut down by RIAA?
