All greatness must come to an end. I think AG was one of the main reasons a lot of Dj's and acts have reached GREATNESS. Where shall we move the anchor to...eventually.

he he, brilliant news man, Dont worry dudes, Snapster or shnapster will be created, There will always be a sweet old illegal download site running,

no way this can't be true! yeah i know other file-sharing programs will be out there, but its gonna be so hard to match the absolute depth and diversity AG had within it. I even liked it more then Napster!

Geezs i'm talking like its already gone...... maybe nothing will happen and we TA will be able to enjoy many more years of getting DJ sets that we otherwise would never hear.

My fingers are crossed

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

we all said that about napster when it went.

the next one will in turn get the diversity of AG as the users will all find somewhere else to go... morpheus is my best bet

right now i can't download anything from audiogalaxy, because i don't have the bandwith -- i have a huge leech list in gozilla from ftp's, etc.

and if you want to blame americans for the RIAA, then you should also blame them for the fact that you are able to use audiogalaxy and download free music. you can't appreciate the sweet until you taste the sour.

if ag goes, something will replace it, simple as that.

why everyone moans about it it beyond me, if you really want the music that go and buy it from a store

ahhhh nooo

Alternatives exist and alternatives will come. Of course, but will they be any good?

I am not so complacent that they will be, although I bloody hope so. We all agree that RIAA are a bit-short sighted in their thinking, but nonetheless it is the way they are going to go. They will inevitably do whatever possible within their power to prevent alternatives of such calibre starting again.

We learnt a lesson after Napster, that alternatives will come, but so did they. This time round, they may well push for more draconian rulings, and try and tighten the knot on the loopholes in the law that people will try to exploit.

If RIAA really do want to reduce mp3 sharing altogether, I am sure they are not so stupid as to assume everyone will just give up when AG is gone. I suspect they are trying to push for something more.

They know they can never entirely stop mp3 sharing, people will always do it over IRC or whatever, but they can sure as hell make it more and more difficult for us IF the law takes their side through to the end on this one.

By the way, about people saying that those of us outside America will be able to continue using AG anyway; is this true? Surely the servers and the whole site etc is based in the US?

I'm not sure but I think AG is a US-based company. So it's well within the jurisdiction of the US courts.

But the legal system the way it is, it could be a long long time before AG is actually shut down (if it is shut down at all...).

I remember when Napster was going to be shut down within days .. suddenly there were 10 million users online, all sharing, grabbing what they could when they could

Me included hehehe

the RIAA needs to stfu...honestly they have copyrighted songs already and for those people who rename their mp3s for people to download AG is still on it...the RIAA is so fukn narrow minded...they just think that any file sharing program is illegal but AG is trying to respect them by X'ing out certain songs...stupid fukerz

Damn!

I don't know any good alternative for AG yet!
