A lot of ppl express arrogant (stupid) words to the effect of screw RIAA they can't touch me. The truth is RIAA has been gaining strength, stepping up their attack with each victory and expanding their reach. First they shut down Napster, then Audio Galaxy, now p2ps (Kazaa).
I wouldnt find any comfort in the fact they havent targeted private hubs "yet". As long as ppl are sharing music on a large scale they will be there, no matter how ur doing it. Its pretty obvious that if they drive ppl from public p2p into private hubs, guess where RIAA is going to next.
For those who say they'll just stop sharing, then who are you going download music from when everone else comes to the same conclusion? It doesnt matter if ur name isnt on a ISP contract. My whole point is the threat is real and its going to effect you in some way if not now then soon.
BTW, saw an interesting article posted on another board http://www.warp2search.net/modules....cle&sid=1 4125

In the Mp3, the ID3v1 and ID3v2 Tags have identifying Hash marks that can be used to identify where one got the Mp3 from. . . When the RIAA sued one woman, she claimed that her Mp3's were all her own, but the RIAA used the Mp3 Hash marks to prove she lied. . . In fact the Hash marks showed that some of her Mp3's were originally downloaded via the Napster (now gone) file sharing software.
So use the free CDex software to convert all your Mp3's to Wav files that have no Tags at all. . . (Warning - These Wav files are 10-times bigger than the Mp3's, so only do 10-50 at a time). . . To avoid CDex or other software from carrying over the Hash marks, use another software to convert back to Mp3. . . If you had 128- bitrate Mp3's to start with, then use 160-bitrate to go from the Wav file back to the "Hash cleaned" Mp3 file to minimize sound- quality loss. |
