that is because they have caught you, and within a very short time, expect a knock on your door from some men that want to slap some pretty bracelets around your wrists (or if you are under 18, than your parents wrists). thank you, have a nice day.
It's true.....that happened to my neighbor.Quote:

I remember I was sitting on my porch having a beer, and then a big white van with the letters RIAA parked in front of my house. I though, 'Oh sh!t'. i just sat there, frozen with fear, and thinking the worse. But then, a huge stroke of luck - they walked up to my neighbors house.....poor guy. A simple knock on his door, he answered, let them in, and 10 minutes later they walked out with his Notebook, his daughters custom sparkley-pink PC, and something that looked like a Green Alien Head PC - I think that was his son's.
I haven't seen the guy in over a month, his wife and kids have moved away, and the house looks like hell - overgrown weeds in the yard, cars are starting to rust.....damn them RIAA Police!
I suggest you dig a big hole in your backyard, throw your computer into it, and bury it! You cannot be too safe.
Good luck to you ndjustin20.
Later.
:D :D Well this is a nice change of pace to these threads. lets keep it going.
Yeah even in Australia this is starting to happen...I mean i thought i was untouchable down here...but i was wrong...my friend who i live with at a uni campus got taken away buy these guys along with his new PC and a few hundred burnt CD's...i was so shaking...i mean he had only half the amount of music that i have had...so yeah im staying low on kazaa for a few months until its all blown over...if i need new CD's i will buy them...Screw getting caught...i mean i would be thrown in jail because of the laws in Australia...so yeah i might just stay low and not share for a bit...Quote:

What do you mean I've been caught????
What exactly did they do to catch me? and how do i fix this? :o :o :o
Oh your going away for a while. :angry: 5 years in jail and $250,000 per song. Nice knowing you. :lol:
The best thing is to stay low for the next coming months because its RIAA hunting season...I mean this will all blow over in a few months...But yeah there's nothing much you can once you have been spotted...other than do a runner for a couple of days...and say your 17 years old...that way your parents have to take the blame (if you are already 17 and under then its all good)..But yeah a good thing to do is blame it on your parents...I can't give you much advice if you have been caught except for good luck and hopefully someone bombs RIAA headquarters :DQuote:

Is this shit for real? or are you just fuckin with us?
Im sorry to say that this is real...people are starting to go down left, right and center...I mean there is carnage everywhere...Why do you think kazaa users are on the decline...I wish this was all bullshit...which would make me a lot happier guy...but i got no fear so im gonna keep on fighting the good fight...and win against the RIAA...you can do the same... :)Quote:

Yeah the RIAA has gotten a bunch of forumers. I knew Joe well before the RIAA got him and beat him to death for having one Avril mp3 on his computer he ripped off mp3.com. :( It's terrable and it's the War on Drugs with mp3s in replace of drugs.
Thats cold...getting beaten up by RIAA...with an AVRIL!!!!!!! song...i mean what is the world coming too these days...and i mean he got it off a site aswell...thats some seriously harsh sh!t right there...i think they are seriously going after the guys with the small stuff first and then kill us larger endowed mp3 collectors...Im scared to see how this all works out...Quote:

Dear ndjustin20 and agaether:
I must say, you have some real friends here on this forum. The advice which HeavyMetalParkingLot, Lemon-Lime, Celerystalksme and Arm have given you should be carefully followed, as it sounds like they are well informed.
I was reluctant to post here until I read this topic, so I decided today was an appropriate day to become a member - lucky for you.
If you do not know who I am, you should do a little on-line research, and you will then know the relevancy of my reply.
Regretfully, I cannot write much more as I am very busy at the moment with various music-related issues.
Sincerely,
Mr. Sherman

Yes, well, since Avril is one of my favorite artists, I thought it appropriate to target all KaZaA users sharing her music first - big or small.

I brought a James Taylor CD in New York *I must of been high as a mofo*
Mr. Sherman, Personally, I think this is rediculous. It's invasion of privacy. It may be morally wrong to download pirated music, but this should not be punishable in court. And as for you catching people, I highly doubt that the methods you implement to accomplish this are legal.
Perfect - you admitted to it.Quote:

Lets start-
1) So does not letting people see what you are sharing actually protect you or just make you look like a leech Sherman?
It's already been confirmed by several members here that you ARE a leech, so don't worry too much about 'looking like one'. And to answer your question: Wouldn't you like to know!?
2) Are people who have uninstalled P2P systems safe?
No - We've been tracking users since the days of Napster. This doesn't mean that we will use the data, but we could if we decide to. Realistically, if you did not share over a thousand songs and you removed the software before June 25th of 1999 you are probably (I'd say 99.9%) safe.
3) How up to date are these subpoenas - you've claimed that you started gathering data specifically since June 25th.
Only we know the criteria we are using to prioritize cases and I doubt that we would let it out.
4) When will people know that they are in the clear?
Again, we could always go back and use the data that we have already gathered, so there is no way to know that you are in the clear unless we at some future time decide to announce amnestey.
I trust you found this helpful.
Sincerely,
Mr. Sherman
I found it helpfull :o
