if they shut down direct connect
we will all just have some massive exodus to some other one

if ne thing happens we'll move to another
exactly! its not that hard to pickup and move either...even on a fast paced msg board like this.

There are just too many hubs to target, shutting them down one by one would literaly take forever.

don't believe propaganda, they cannot do anything to dc.
The RIAA attempts to halt technology from advancing. Unfortunately that is impossible, and they fail to realize.

They cant shut it down. There's only once central server and that's used for their public hub list and website. Get rid of that and there's no central resource for them to shut down.
Try it.
DC++ is far better anyhow, like to see them shut down an open source project YAAA RIIIIGHT.

In order for them to have any legal grounds to prosecute Direct Connect they would would have to attack the hub servers, rather than the software makers.
THe software itself does nothing without the servers, and quite frankly, RIAA can't get to the thousands of servers set up. Long live the hub!!
I would imagine that for every hub shut down by the RIAA several more would be established...it's a losing battle. Additionally, RIAA is an intensely shit acronym.
