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???

I agree, the RIAA cant stop the sharing of music because people just switch to another medium anways.

I guess the RIAA is rich enough to buy many "good" lawyers to sue the small timers. They might as well give away their money to charity or something instead of wasting their money and time stopping something that cant be stopped.

Theres not a fucking thing the RIAA can do to DC. Unlike Napster, Audiogalaxy, or most all other music/file sharing programs, there is no central server to shut down. Its all run by the users. They cant sue them all, and certainly couldnt even gain access to many of them that are password protected (like our own EMC hub). Once again the RIAA is going to make an ass of itself.

I dunno why you guys are bothering to care really...cause they won't succede and I can guarentee it. Let's not forget..EMC is private and soon oldos...so theres not a god damn thing they can do. Secondly, they can't do anything in counties where have have no power...so don't get your shit in a knot. =) Just continue to leech!

Perhaps these forums should b e locked out to un-registered users (of tranceaddict) so ppl from the riaa can't find out about the hub. They'd need to register, and everybody who is registered is vetted, so this lessens thew liklihood they'd bother to root the hub out.

Even if DC is killed, we still have the software, and the source to the software so as long as the people hosting the hub aren't found, everything is fine.

Ugh. So dumb. Like someone already said, why fight something that will never go away

If DC is shut down we can just use mIRC.

No!! Don't make me go back to the dark days of waiting in queue lines to have horrible pop-alternative song's DCC'd to me a horribly incredible slow speeds! And then having a netsplit and all the transfers and queue lines get dumped... I won't do it! I just wont!

Originally posted by Vesa RIAA the damn bastards shut down AG last year only to support the pop industry, and as collateral damage ruined the market for vintage trance altogether Without AG it's almost impossible to find out about rare 1998-1999 stuff And now they go after the DC Hubs to complete the destruction

cherish what you have right now, and not take this technology for granted. I have trance tracks only DJs here would dream of having. Not even the stores carry what I have.

that reminds me, I need to buy a harddrive so I can leech like crazy before something happens..

U people are worry worts.
Downloading shit we always be free.

Just think how lucky u have been to get shit for free all this time if DC was going to get fucked

Yo whatever happened to making music because you love too??? although pop music is just corporate fat cats behind the scene.. I think that 100% of the djs would still dj if they didnt get fat checks too..
