Anyone Else Have This Happen To Them?

[Chame1eon]

Thank you DazFlynn I would llike to know when anything tlike this happens, and when people do it only makes them more prepared. (They can get a firewall, peer guardian ect. )and when more peope have fireswalls ect. we probably all have fewer fake files and less attention. People should know what they are gettign into anyway.
besides i beleive him/her the frist time i came here it was becase of a simular problem (the bad music files), and if the fisrt thing i said elicited so much criticism i would probably leave too

Get used to the criticism here. After seeing a bunch of "how do i download" questions, I posted a guide to downloading with and configuiring KL, a method which works great for me. Sure enough the flaming starting, "what people need a guide to downloading now, lmao" this from a high level poster who always complains about "stupid" newbie questions. This is the kind of remark you get on this forum. I have a suggestion to all the flamed newbies. Take all your shared files off the fastrack network and use something else, try bittorrent or emule. There are many much better clients out there. And the forums are sooooo much better.

hmm...

Im a first time post, too and don't work for symantec. I just picked up someone uploading Norton with an address [DONT[[[FUCK]]][AROUND].@kazaa somethingorother. Scared the crap outof me

what's with all the hate?

like the user who posted take all your files off of Fasttrack and take it elsewhere...hell, it's attitudes like that that will destroy filesharing...i say to those who use something other than Fasttrack to stop posting HERE!!! my limited understanding is that K-lite uses Fasttrack...hmmmmm

idiot, instead of removing files from filesharing networks, we should be making an effort to spread "good" files on the networks...idiot who said to remove is an RIAA sympatizer (RIAA bitch)

guess i know what all the hate is about...as filesharing continues it's the haters that will destroy it (like the original warez, now just abunch of porn pop ups, Hotline, gone cause of constant leachers and haters, the list goes on)

the RIAA are a bunch of bitches and the music industry is gonna pay, the industry needs to learn to conform to the shopper, not the shopper conforming to the market. do you RIAA supporters out there know that 75% of music CD customers were filesharers????

apple, micro$oft, napster, and all these other online d/l music sites are gonna change the face of the market...so RIAA bitches cry now, cause in 5 years your gonna have no jobs...bitch.

oh yeah, firewall's, proxy and all that junk won't help hide your ip address...i don't know if micro$oft has changed this but winXP allows applications permission to root level uhhhhh damn can't get technical right now...(just joined the haters ) but the jist is that XP users can get spoofed or send out false packet information (thanks micro$oft, great security, other OS's don't allow root level changes)

sorry just had to rant...damn didn't know i was a "lurker" hehehe "lurker" think i'm gonna go "lurk" in the corner

I just ment that if he/she has left it could easily be the flaming and not nessicarily becase he was lying.

About removing all of your files: i don't think the peopel on this board represent everone on fastrack, and the flames don't represent everyone on the board.

[SHaka2U]

sorry for the harshness of my previous post

flaming a thread, people should just get use to it...if they have never visited a forum before...well they never visited a forum before

i don't think one users opinion represents the whole...i like the wit and sarcasm found on this board, keeps me coming back for more

as an old hotline server runner, i'll always keep sharing, if i have to burn files onto CD, i'll put them into a folder first, just in case someone msg's me asking for something else in my share folder (just pop in the CD and add the CD folder to your share list...worked only once on Fasttrack...). in fact i keep k-lite runnin in the background and i haven't d/l anything for over a month (not even porn but my u/l continues on...over 800megs daily..info courtesy of bandwidth meter)

i'm a firm believer of pooling files and spreading em over different networks, more for me, is more for you. the concept of isolating files to one network has me exhausted....doesn't that contradict filesharing??? Greed, Envy, and Jealousy rules Big brother, they shouldn't rule filesharer's.
i'm sorry for coming out and sounding like a freakin zeolot, it's just that the filesharing community mean's alot to me...both the "legal" and "illegal" sides...come on, sharing has been a basic bond of humanity since uhm humanity.
last zealot statement...i just think the RIAA, the Music companies they represent, and big bro should sit back, toke and take a lesson from the Grateful Dead. here's a band who never really had huge record sales but they stayed around for how long? who's following instead of dwindling each year grew stronger each year? how's that, well they worked their butts' off , touring constantly...plus did they scorn the millions of followers who recorded shows and shared or traded those rips??? no because of those traders the Dead grew more popular (personal experience, i was introduced to the Dead not from a store bought album, but from a cassette a buddy got from a show...in fact, i still haven't listened to a store bought album yet)

sorry been holding in some rants for way too long...think i'm gonna go play some Disc golf (come on out you Flamers )

I said stop sharing the files cos I was pissed off with one poster (whos post mysteriously vanished from this thread), s/he never has anything good to share. Im not an riaa bitch unless that means having a massive shared folder used by 4 clients running at the same time

[m.lawrence]

Look,I think the point other's were making when they said the original poster was possibly just someone trying to sow seeds of paranoia amongst kazaa users is definitly valid.I mean who using kazaa beleives that downloading norton firewall 2003 or adobe's photoshop is legal?So why would anyone NEED to be reminded of that fact? I mean why would anyone be shocked to receive a letter or what have you from the legal department of some company saying "We gotcha!" The point was,(I think),yes some people may get busted for sharing,but posting that in here,a kazaa lite forum,and then innocently asking,"Oh,by the way,have YOU got one of these letters yet?" is just too suspect from someone who just started posting.If people DON'T expect scare tactics to be used in the war against p2p file sharing well,that's just laughably naive.

When you get a warning letter:

Remove 'those' files from your hard drive. (burn to CDR or CDRW disk, ugh)

Update your IP Blocking proggies. Do NOT depend on firewall alone (They have ALL 'leaked' in my tests).

Always use the built in IP Blocker in the proggie like Kl++ 2.4.3.

Always 'reply' to the email as such:

Dear sirs, or To Whom it may concern: A thorough search has been done and there are no such named files on this computer.


Thats it. NEVER put your personal info like the complaint letter sometimes says to do in order to keep your ip access. The above is all you need to write after hitting reply!!! You send your real name, address, etc., back in the reply then the complainent (riaa etc.) will THEN have a copy. Your ISP 'forwards' the complaint. Long as you do NOT provide any more info than that, that is all the complainent will ever know about you, your ip address, and nothing else. Your ISP is NOT required to give out your personal info, and none do that I know of.
Your ISP will send a reply back to the complainent that the files have been removed or are no longer being shared, etc., as your response, or a copy of your response, sans your email address (unless you were dumb enough to give it in your reply!!! Don't!!&#33

This is how I have handled them. So far, no problems.

imho
