hi i have been reading all kinds of posts alll over this forum about riaa. well im getting pissed off about it just sitting here. i had kazaa lit for a while but then stopped because of the riaa. its not right they meake us pay 15 dollars for a cd. that has songs on it. i am against the riaa all the way because it is not right what they do. like some people say we should buy more cds to lower the price. nooo. the cd companys are just money hogs they will keep it the same price or maybe even raise it. i am getting kazaa back now and i hope it is as secure as i hope it is. because i dont want any stupid person talking to me about im in trouble for listening to something i didnt pay for.
thank you for your time.
One company slashed prices not too long ago. Was it Columbia?Quote:

all i am saying is that the riaa needs to stop. also is kazza secure enough for this. will it block all riaa users. if not how can i?
It doesn't guarantee to block them all, but if you have version 2.4.2 or higher, and keep the IP blocker in the Tools updated frequently, you will have some protection at least. :)Quote:

As far as I'm concerned, RIAA is just an organization sponcored by the CD labels etc. owners, to fight with growing filesharing. Now some artists, just signed under it , which might have been a suicide for them(check here), because fans where disgusted by the fact, that their idols were going to hunt and punish the "hands that feed them", because besides sharing most also bought their CD's. Some artists, like...hmmm... I think Chuck D from "Public enemy" was suporting file sharers, saying that it's nothing new, people always were getting stuff off of the radio, or copying something from a friend.Quote:

Now by saying RIAA takes advantage of artists, I meant the corruption, the CD labels owners etc.
And If you skeptical... go there...

It's obious, they are trying to fight. It's not like they will not be able to put food on the table because of the file sharing, but they are terrified that they might loose their private jets... aaawwwww... poor them... :rolleyes: :P :lol:
About that... well... I'll reffer you to this link again, this might be an answer for you... follow this link...Quote:

NEWS!!!9/30/03 Beginning of an end of RIAA etc.!!!It's a link to a thread where discussion about it takes place.
...and in there you will find more links on the subject and links to the actual "Big Hack" site...
If you, or anyone else still needs some more explanation on how it works, you can join the "Big Hack" forum, and post your question there. They're really nice and will gladly answer any of your questions.Quote:
As a lawyer myself (not in the USA by the way) i find that the canadian option (the fees in the cd-rīs) is good, but for what i was able to understand from the article you linked me to, thatīs even better.
Just a little and unnoticeable question. . . how do i eat it!!!???
Simple plain words for a "not-so-educated-about-technical-pc-language" kind of guys would be appreciated.
Gavin.
Also If you want, I can Invite one of their "hack masters" to join our discussion, but I don't want to trouble them too much, so it might be better if you post your question at Shareaza's forum (link above), since I've already asked one of them to answer some questions people might have...
And as a lawyer, you might bring a lot different perspective to this interesting debate... I'd love to see you there. :)
