Something I Don't Understand

RIAA only has to become a SOURCE for your MP3 download briefly to ruin a song, and that's how they're working -- giving you a few KB of really wrecked data, then letting you get the rest from elsewhere.

Because it's basically 'spliced in', it causes eardrum-shattering noise as the sound waves spike from 0 to max instantaneously.

That's true, I didn't think of it that way before. And very annoying aswell.

The fact is they can swarm fakes with real / verifieds because Kazaa (fkin retards at Sharman) only hashes the first 3700 bytes of the file. They can download something with heavy sources, hex edit beyond that point (about 15 seconds into the song) and begin to share the altered file. Kazaa does not see the difference between the two files since it does check the hash on the rest of the file like Shareaza for example, thus swarms them together. This without question is the biggest downfall and explotation of the network...
