and on a lesser note...pay stuff out :)
I think we should take up a class action law suit against the RIAA for corrupting our personal data. After all, as long as the legallity of downloading music has not been established in the courts, what gives them the right to interfere with our downloads in this manner. Is it any better than giving us a virus? :rolleyes:
pass a law on what exactly?? [/b][/quote]Quote:

do you think they can possibly pass a law or bill on this stuff? i don't think so, right?
like, do you think if they keep gettin gpissed off at us downloading music for free, can they pass a law banning it or something? i hope not...
i am not realy followed what have you guys saying abot RIAA, but anyway, is there any possible to solve the corruptef mp3 files?
yeah thats a goodun..... arethey just corrupt so they can be fixed via
a program or something.... or is it just :swear: :swear: :swear: up noise coming
out all over the place? any idea people... coz theres gotta be a way to prevent this
without moving to soulseek or whatever.
Take A Stand Against The RIAA Go To this web site.
i downloaded hundreds of tracks from kazaa lite and recently some of them dont work. it plays a bit of the song, and then starts squealing???? :blink: Does anyone no why this happens.
No one knows 100% y.... but read the pinned thread thingy to find out more.
This should have not been moved it should have been closed.
agreed..... if only people looked before leaping ;)Quote:

The P2P World
Against The RIAA World ha ha ha Were :lol: :D :P B) :rolleyes: Laughing at em...
For some reason when I download some songs and play them they sound fine but then some parts throughout the song will have this loud screeching metal sound. Why does this happen and is there any way I can prevent it from happening? Or is it just because of the user that uploaded it?
This tends to happen to newly released songs. This is seemingly done to 'discourage' P2P users from downloading music. All I can say is keep looking for the song you want. Stop by the Musicworld forum and take a look at the pinned topic that discusses this same issue.
not too much to do just update your ip blocker and hope every one update too
there are some people that delibery do this to make the music share obsolet so be sure to delet the corrupted file so nobary will get that error from you
thank you again. you seem to answer all my questions :P
This morning i was watch a program on television and they have scrolling text along the bottom, this is what i saw:
Music industry sues file-swappers
This shocked the hell out of me, i wondered....SHIT..this isnt good
I have done my research today and found a news website, Ninemsn.com.au
and i had a read of the report and this has really turned me off using Kazaa, what is your thoughts on this??? Ninemsn News: Music Industry Sues P2P Users Report
12:06 AEST Tue 9 Sep 2003
Music industry sues file-swappers
AFP - The recording industry, stepping up its battle against online piracy, has filed 261 lawsuits against internet users accused of illegal music-swapping.
The Recording Industry Association of America said the civil suits target internet users of so-called peer-to-peer networks who have exchanged an average of 1,000 songs online.
The move marked a new legal tactic for the industry, which until now had targeted companies that operated music-swapping websites and a few internet users operating large-scale unauthorised music sharing.
"Our goal here is not to be vindictive or punitive. It's simply to get P2P users to stop offering music that doesn't belong to them," said RIAA president Carey Sherman.
The RIAA said at the same time it would offer amnesty to persons under investigation who pledge in writing to stop unauthorised music file-sharing.
"Our offer is simple and we think reasonable: if you voluntarily come forward, sign a declaration promising to destroy all the illegal copies that you may have made in the past, destroy illegally obtained files and not illegally distribute music in the future, we will promise not to take any legal action against you for your past activities," Sherman said in a conference call from Washington.
The RIAA, which brought down the popular Napster file-sharing system in 2001, failed in court to shut down peer-to-peer networks such as Kazaa and Grokster because they have no central servers that store music but instead allow users to share files amongst themselves.
In June, the RIAA -- which represents the major music labels including Universal, Sony, Warner, BMG and EMI -- announced plans to start collecting evidence for thousands of lawsuits in a bid to crack down on illegal online music swapping, which the industry blames for the slump in legitimate sales.
Some have criticised the new tactic of the music industry, saying it could target millions of people and in some cases make parents liable for music-swapping by their children.
But Sherman said he hopes the legal action will prompt parents to pay more attention to potentially illegal activities by their children.
"We expect people to say 'It isn't me, it was my kid,' but someone has to take responsibility," Sherman said in a conference call.
Sherman said the suits target the internet account holders where "that computer has been used for illegal purposes."

I feel really bad now..... so ummm what to do??? :unsure:
I'll go hide :ph34r:
This is getting stupid now. (oh better close my ears i can hear music from a car coming down the road) I am still going to use kazaa and soulseek. We should stand up to them. Bombard RIAA's E-mail with loads of shit. Send RIAA viruses. FUCK THE RIAA.
I just thought I would add this but I was looking for some of the new dashboard stuff and I kept getting all the screeching noises. After reading this topic I decided to have a closer look at some of the users it was coming from. And I found something quite weird. Multiple users with the same exact files. I'm gonna guess they're all fake files. I saw some new thursday tracks etc. I think basically these users need to be weeded out.
We all have rights, and we all need to use them, besides they charge way to much for music cd's now anyways
I posted this last night, However , I POSTED IT IN THE WRONG THREAD...
:unsure: :blink: :unsure: :blink: :( :( :(
OK everyone at ONCE..... "NEWBE" Ha, ha, ha
Oh well.....
So here is my tid-bit
Suggestion....
Get everyone [well as many as possible]
To Re-Name known "screach" files and leave it on their HDD...
Example: [Screach-Led Zepplin-Whole Lota Love]...
most of us have the HDD room to spare...
and at least the screachin $hit files will be identified as well as
Identifying a non RIAA user to have other clean files...
If everyone just eliminated the bad files
The Dick-Heads [AKA-RIAA] will just keep flooding the system with more...
May I also suggest from there,
to have K++ add a blocker
for any file with the word "screach" in it
Then warn the person downloading, Via a dialog box
[Warning...! This file may be / is corrupt, Do you wish to continue with download?]
I'm no programmer, however, it sounds doable to me !
Also I noticed lately when performing a search by song title....
If I Un-Plus the combined file as a potential download,
Not only is there different file sizes,
There are also different artists listed with the same song...
Dean Martin-whole lotta love.... mixed in with Led Zep-whole lotta love ! ! !
I belive this is how MR Smart Ass with his
"Screachy-Scratchy-Attachy" Machine is pulling this off...
He cant alter songs without the artist's permission and a lot of legal crap
"PER SONG" <Big Bucks>
However, he can write a code to combine non related songs with only one similar attribute [whole lotta love]
and override K++ and others file Exact Matching code....
At any rate it was just a thought... Or Two
JKR
:angry: ...This post is for all those KaZaA users out there sharing music. Can you do us all a favor and please delete those fucking corrupted files from your shared folder so that they won't show up in searches. I am sick of having to wait to download a song only to listen to the damn thing and then 10 secs later I nearly hit the ceiling because of that loud screeching noise. Is it really too hard to delete them? If they are no good why keep them on your machines?!? Perhaps you are working for RIAA... :angry:
do u think every kazaa user is on this board?
You think the majority of them files are shared by genuine users?
i need help here, when i download a song and then listen to it, it plays alright for about the first 10-15 secs, then all of a sudden a strange shrieking noise starts up and the song is buggered, ive tried several songs and the same thing, they cant all have something wrong as some are rated as excellent.
has anyone else had this problem??
please help cus i cant downlpad anythign that works!!!!! :(
Your file is a fake, they've been discussed many, many times in the last few weeks.
Find ll about it here: http://www.klboard.ath.cx/index.php?showtopic=49358
ok all you ppl who think its the RIAA doing the whole thing!!
why arnt the RIAA smart enough to do it on older releases if they supposingly have so much bandwith??
Those who understand will be bored by this - but it might help some others make sense of what's going on.
There have been a lot of references here to "fake files". It turns out though it's much more evil than just planting some fake files. RIAA's hackers are taking advantage of a serious flaw in Kazaa's Hashing system to plant files which as far as the KAZAA search algorithms are concerned are identical to the real files. In reality parts of these files have been replaced with the 'orrible noise people are compaining about.
Because the bad files look the same to Kazaa as the good ones, and because when you download you usually download pieces of the file from multiple sources it's totally possible to get a corrupted piece with that 'orrible noise from one user that effectively ruins your whole download, and also creates yet another corrupted version of the file.
The defect in the Kazza protocols is that the identification of a song for the purposes of search is based on a "hash" : this is a large number computed by say adding all of the bytes of data in the song together and taking the last N digits or bits (in reality a fancier algorithm would be used). Kazza fucked up big time because they designed their hash algorithm to only include certain chunks of the file rather then every single byte and which chunks are included (and not) is very well known. So RIAA can fool the hash algorithm by trashing the bytes of the file which aren't included in the hash calculation. The trashed file will then have the same hash as the good file and will be downloaded as part of it.
What is really "nice" here is that this spreads corrupted sections of the file into new downloads due to Kazaa's multi-source feature - it spreads almost like a virus. Narsti!
The one thing that everyone can do now is to DELETE CORRUPTED FILES IMMEDIATELY!!!!
Beyond that, if KLite could download files into a non-shared directory then people could listen to the files to make sure they're OK before sharing them. KLite could implement features to support verifying files and moving them to shared.
In the end it may be necessary for Kazaa to fix their hash algorithm in which case software will probably need to be upgraded. Whether in the present legal climate they will feel safe fixing their bug is open to question.
And by the way, the defect that RIAA exploits is not inherently limited to any one bandwidth - if they aren't planting 192 bit rate files today, it's only because they ain't gotten around to it - they could.
Hi Guys
not sure what is wrong here but i just tried to download black eyed peas and didos new songs and they download fine ,lots of people sharing.
BUT
when i come to play them they start off fine but after about 8 seconds the song goes all daft (it sounds like a really fast distorted machine gun)
wtf is happening here?
anyone else having problems?

Hey don't know how many of you are having this problem but on some .mp3 files you get a really nasty horrible screeching sound about twenty-thirty seconds in. Personally I think this may well be the first sign that RIAA are turning up the heat. As most of you know when you download files off people if there is more than one user it will partition and spread that download out dependent on bandwidth and then repiece it together once its complete. Now what seems to be happening is certain users (RIAA plants) are putting up corrupted files or messed up versions within these normal files to mess it up. You could say oh its the people that don't know how to make .mp3's but so far I know of fifty people effected by the same problem and all of us are into very different artists. It also seems rather odd that it is the new albums that have all the errors and when it is not the new albums its ones where people have not put the album name.
Anyway if anyone else knows of this problem and has a definite answer for why its occuring then great. Otherwise I think the war between us (P2P users) and them (RIAA etc) may well be starting to escalate.
