I saw on the news that people on Kazaa Lite who have over 1000 will be sued and the users that the RIAA are after are on a hitlist here
this was august 28th so you know all of these ppl will be caught very soon or already caught and after that they will most likely be coming after people on kazaa lite

Perhaps nothing more than those letters...
My thought here is that networks that support partial file sharing, perhaps legally (just guessing) they may not be able to prove that you had the complete file. KaZaa just seems to be the perfect target on many levels, largest user base, and if your sharing a file or its in your shared folder you have the ENTIRE file, unlike the above where you could possibly state you only had the 30k that they downloaded.

With Kazaa Lite you can share as many files as you want. Because when you have the privacy options on, nobody can see how much files you share.

09-18-2003, 09:45 AM
so if someone is uploading from u and his participation says Low (0), that means he isnt sharing at all? because if he was, he would be automatic 1000 by default, right?
just wanted to make sure privacy patch is just for when u right click get more from user. sorry i know i got a little off topic there.

You can use Kazaa Lite and still have your name end with @Kazaa I prefer using the Kazaa Lite one because the RIAA hasn't said anything about Kazaa Lite that I have heard about it.

If you have the privacy patch turned on, they probably can&#39;t get a list of all your files without hacking a supernode&#39;s code to return all shared files of its nodes.

No, he may well be sharing.

He&#39;s on an earlier version or a different client program.

09-20-2003, 12:06 PM
aw... I&#39;m sharing 12,000 and I&#39;m not onthe list :-( I&#39;m almost dissapointed... On the other hand I&#39;m not in America, so I&#39;m not worrying about it anyway... And considering the amount I&#39;m sharing I dont seem to get many people uploading from me... Just think, all that upload bandwidth going to waste...

I just had another thought... The RIAA is only interested in the music files right? What about movies? Or books? Or for that matter, software? There&#39;s been massive companies fighting against software piracy for years and they havent managed to prevent illegal copies of Windows XP or Photoshop getting onto people&#39;s PC&#39;s, why is everyone suddenly worried about music? Why doesnt there seem to be a similar thing on sharing movies? I admit that noone can share movies as fast as music, but even so I&#39;m sure its a problem for Holloywood to face. Why is it only the music industry that is so damn greedy?

I don&#39;t think anyone useing kazaa lite has been sued.
I heard that someone got sued when shareing around 500 i guess they are going after whoever they can find with lostsof songs.

Luminaire
09-20-2003, 03:51 PM
Well a simple solution (if this 1000 risk is true) would be to move files to non-sharred folders while sharring just enough to keep you under that number. That&#39;s what I did.

If it says @Kazaa and PL=0 AND all uploads to it is getting a majority of your upload bandwidth while others are running above 1 KB/sec but less than 5 KB/sec, they&#39;re probably a leech.

It is remotely possible that the upload/s is going to someone on Kazaa v2.0.0 or earlier but they&#39;d have to NOT be uploading near their max speed to get more than about 10 KB/sec OR have the upload bandwidth limited so as to not cause them slowdowns.

benn19uk
09-21-2003, 12:03 PM
Are there seriously people with PL&#39;s of 0? Surely every leecher in the world has heard of Kazaa Cheater?
And for some reason my PL=1000 and just wont change like it used to. I know it used to be based on how much you downloaded compared to how much you uploaded, but recently I&#39;ve been downloading quite a bit and not actually uploading very much... Still sharing loads so I&#39;m wondering if the PL is now set according to how many files you share?

BTW way TheDave, I love your signature, now to find someone who actually will look behind them...

hello,

If you are in US, and you was sued: give all your Files you share to a good friend
you can TRUST and share your thoughts openly with&#33;&#33;&#33; or better: the friend should be in another country with other law, or give small amount of files many friends :)
to guarantee sharing&#33;

and if you was sued and need soomeone to share your thoughts with in order to not feel so lonely, you can talk to me :)

if you was not sued, only share some hundreds of files and give the other files to friends who has already only few files ...

and if you was already at court: tell them that sharing your thoughts openly is
important to udnerstand each other better, also offline. That is the idea behind sharing, and that is what I would tell them. And: the MOST IMPORTANT THING AT COURT OR IF YOU WAS SUED: ORGANISE AS MANY MEDIA (TV, INTERNET, RADIO STATION FOR YOUR STORY) AS YOU CAN&#33; IF MORE PEOPLE GOT THE IDEA BEHIND SHARING IT WOULD PROBABLY HAVE INFLUENCE ON YOUR COURT PROCESS&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; sure...

and if you was sued at court already, riaa would not normally sue same people a second time... so you do not have to worry be sued hundred of times...


thks.

Hi
I delete Kazaa lite when i heard about the Riaa. Now I want to go back to kazaa lite and start downloading again. Will I be at risk if i started as a new user? Should i use the lates kazaa or could i use any to be least at risk? Is there any thing else I should know about before I start downloading? Btw I live in the US.
Thanks in Advance

My shared folder has 3,000 files in it but there is only a dozen music files and a couple of films.After a few beers, I unzipped cossacks and a couple of other pc games into my shared folder.Does this mean the RIAA think I&#39;m a mass downloader &#39;cos I only went to the pub&#33;

Oh yeah I forgot to mention somone told me that the 12yr. old girl that got sued was sued becuase she had 12,000 computers connect to her computer in a week I think that they may be after you if you have a bunch of people connecting to your computer also.

Gre1

Everyone knows about the 12 yr. old gurl but it is kind of because she had computers connected they look for peeps with a large list of files that u are sharing then they go from there.

Then your a leech if u have files on your computer (which u do) and not sharing them cause I know u download so don&#39;t tick the disable sharing with other members box. Instead to keep people from knowing what files u have on your computer u can just go into kazaa-lite>options>"more options" then tick the "prevent other users from getting a list of your shared files.

If even basic file-sharing over the internet becomes illegal, it won&#39;t matter what the name of the program is. If it&#39;s being sold/made/posted on websites in the USA, it won&#39;t be there for long and will soon require word-of-mouth for users to get it.

ISPs can monitor internet traffic for p2p activity and quickly order you to quit or threaten you with line disconnection.

The FBI/CIA/local law enforcement could be informed of your illegal activity, as it&#39;s potentially a means of furthering terrorist activity (so THEY say...) and you either get your file info quickly double-checked, an unexpected visist, or automatic fines.

Remember DAT (Digital Audio Tape)?
Know why DVDs have so many formats?

It&#39;s because THEY have enough power to not only change laws but to force everyone who uses newer technology to comply.

Get real&#33; Fileshairing is technically illegal now unless you MADE the file and it&#39;s contents or the stuff isnt copyrighted. The thing is it&#39;s turned into a bigger problem for the record industry than anything else ever. They were slightly pissed when people used to record CD&#39;s onto Tapes for thier mates, they&#39;re even more pissed now because there are millions more people handing round something that was up until then 99% profit...

Thats right you could always tell that this was going to come sooner or later. But somone said something about sony making a filesharing program and the RIAA can&#39;t really do anything about them because they&#39;re a multi billionare company.

Well how will people in coporations and other shit like that send files to each other that they need. Now, if u say the sharing of copyrighted files is illegal (and it is) they can pass a law about that. That&#39;s how it works it has to be specific. That&#39;s the way the law works.

Sony&#39;s filesharing program either
a ) doesnt (and never will) exist
b ) will ask for a subscription fee to download files
c ) will be heavily policed by Sony/RIAA checking everyone has the CD of whatever they download
d ) will only allow the user to download NON-copyrighted files...

OR (and this is the most unlikely option...

e ) will be the best thing to happen to filesharing ever...

I&#39;m currently going with a), but if someone can offer proof it will be made then I&#39;ll switch to b )...

The same thing that would happen if u downloaded all the songs u want stayed on kazaa all day then close it and get back on....NOTHING. That&#39;s if u have the all the privacy options checked as well like prevent users from getting your shared files.
