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 ....

you could just encript the mp3 with pgp or other similar encription software

Beware of killer hamsters and the random running dogs.

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......

so true. nothing, absolutely NOTHING in this world is hack-free. there's no lock some robbers couldn't pick. no software some hackers couldn't crack. and there will never be anything 100% hack-safe that will control how we listen to mp3s and what mp3s we listen to.

seven lines of perl baby, remember those seven golden DVD-cracking executive ass-whooping lines 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....

Thats way I hate the US law and i'll never wanna live in America...
Where is our privacy?....this suck......it's becomming a "big brother is whatching you" world...if the RIAA can arrange by law that they can hack computers....which company is next?..not only MP3 is illegal on computers.....

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...

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.....
