AO: We are back from the dead... again! After an 18 day outage, we are finally alive and well. Who knew how complicated updating software/databases from 2008 would be. I still have alot of tweaks to make, but my main goal was getting everything patched and updated to 2026.
Vbulletin 6 has changed alot since 2008 so we will have a ton of new features to dig into.
My friend was a download freak and let me use his external HD and transfer the files/songs. I have music I probably will never listen to, or even know I have.
What there doing is going through your ISP. Because we all have a isp, they get your isp from Kazaa, then go through your isp to find out who the real person behind the downloading is. Then you get a certifed letter and bam your in court.
just take your shared file music and put it into another folder so it isnt being shared. How will they track it? I have Kazaa lite with some cheater thingy that came with it. It says my participation is 1000 but my shared folder is copletely empty. i get music but it wont be tracked. Doesnt really matter though because i dont download much music anyways
I have 50.3 GB of music, totalling somewhere around 11,000 songs.
dont use regular kazza, simply for the spyware installed. If you use anything, use kazaa lite.
better yet, dont use kazaa lite.. use direct connect.. connect to a hub outside of the US and sample music there.
there is no way in hell the RIAA is going to stop the free trade of music. the enterprise in and of itself is too big. take direct connect for example.. some of the larger hubs I have connected to are 25 terabytes plus of data. mostly music, alot of movies and games and such.. just like kazaa, but on a larger scale. that, and you have IRC.. you can find almost anything on IRC...
anyways, i dont think you have much to worry about. nor do I. I dont make my music available to the public, and I would have to say at least 40% of the music I own is ripped from CDs that I purchased. besides the firewalls and all sorts of things run on my computer to prevent outside access and what not.
Yeah, they can go ahead and bring me to court for 50 songs, ok. I will just burn them all to a CD and save them to my desktop, play them through winamp.
is downloading bad? or just uploading...? kinda confusing here.

oh boy, i can't wait to be dragged into court for downloading some music, but the guy 2 houses away is wacking it to kiddy porn and S&M all day, and meeting up with little girls at the mall and raping and killing them all because of the internet, but i'm going to be prosecuted.

hahahhaa... i agree..
im eagerly anticipating the day the RIAA comes to visit my house.
*edit* also on another note.. the RIAA really doenst have much to do with the above mentioned.. however, the court systems that are having thier times wasted has something to do with it.

haha irc sucks, direct connect is alright. i never really listen to music on my computer but the best way to get music is off of ftps. i know a few people who run huge archive sites of all sort of music, and you just have to download a folder thats a complete cd instead of worrying about getting each file. most of it is 320bps or better too, which is nice. as for firewalls and anything else on your computer, the RIAA won't try to hack you, they will just trace it to you or your isp and then do something legally. the only way you would be safe is if you chained together about 15+ anonymous proxies.
