How Do You Protect Yourself From The Riaa?

Hi Everyone,

I am new here and love using Kazaa Lite.

Ever since this business with the RIAA has started, I have been unsure of how to protect myself from the RIAA.

Does anyone have anyone suggestions or tricks that can be used?

Thanks!

Just use the newest version of kazaalitee k++ thats the best you can do.

i still use k lite 1.7.2 and checked the dont share with others thing. Shows me with no files shared and then i encrypt, burn and wipe off the hard drive.. the old files.. Ashampoo provacy protector will wipe files in an explorer like setting. Also 1.7.2 doesnt have the ranks.

Hey Demon before u post always search the board. Get some pratice and search for what u are looking for, there is a search button at the top of the board.

hey, welcome to the board. ok, 1st, u want to get the latest kazaa lite from:
www.k-lite.tk
if that doesn't work, then search for it. should be around

then go to tools, and block ip updater thing. do that often

if u want extra protection, like say if u use other p2p programs, get a good firewall, like zonealarm or sygate, and add the IPs of the evil government people such as the RIAA. go to
http://www.methlabs.org
to get peerguardian and update the ip list. then go to:
http://methlab.tech.nu/
to get ur ips for the evil shitheads.
Here's the instructions from REALITY on how to add the IPs:

finalized zapro 4 xml instructions:

if you don't have xmlspy dl http://www.xmlspy.com/

you're going to want to click settings> folder options> view and uncheck hide file
extensions for known file types- the reason is that you'll be changing xml files to text
and vice versa (easy- just rename with .txt instead of .xml etc)


1. First you need to backup your current zone alarm settings, which will create a file in the xml format.
To do this, go to: Overview=> Preferences=> and click the backup button. Call the file backup.
the file will now be saved as ‘backup.xml’ in the location where you saved it, by default it saves
in my documents.

2. Copy the zone alarm pro xml dump from this site. Here is the link:http://methlab.tech.nu/pg2zap.asp (it is up to date and includes the thumbs up ranges)

3. Then copy the list from the above link and then go to this site: www.bluetack.co.uk and click on Security Blocklist Converter . select convert from: zone alarm to zone alarm. It will organize the information in a such a way that its easier to see where to remove the unwanted stuff, but that comes later on.

4. Then open your backup.xml in notepad. Browse the file and you should come to point where it looks like this:
CODE

<file extension="MHT" active="true" description="Web Archive File"/>
</quarantine>
</attachments>
<outboundMail ompEnabled="true" mailEnabled="true" maxMailSent="5" recipientEnabled="true" maxRecipients="50" interval="2" senderEnabled="false" authorizedSenders="******@***.com"/>
</email>
<firewall>
<expert>
<groups> </groups> <rules>
<execute action="drop"/>
<source>

</source>
</rule>

</rules>
</expert>
</firewall>
<zones>
<trusted clearOldEntries="true" defaultNetworkStatus="ask" defaultAdapterMode="off">
</trusted>
<restricted clearOldEntries="true" defaultNetworkStatus="ask" defaultAdapterMode="off">
&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;PASTE THE FILE FROM BLUETACK HERE&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; (please note you may already have ips listed
here so just paste the data after the last ip entry

5. Then paste the zone alarm pro dump from the bluetack.co.uk site after its been converted
(important note- only copy and paste the ip data and NOT the following: before:
<zones><restricted clearOldEntries="false" defaultNetworkStatus="ask" defaultAdapterMode="off">
and after: </restricted></zones>
and paste it under the highlighted area.

6. Now save it and close it. And open it in XMLSPY. (there&#39;s no need to grant internet access
to this program for this)

7. Xmlspy will now tell you that the file is not well formed. the cursor will be in front of
the first character that needs to be deleted, simply erase the > and then click recheck-
you&#39;ll have to remove several > characters, then you come to C&D and you just delete the &
and click recheck...move on to more > and the you come to Audifon Chat & Play- here you need
to hit backspace twice- erasing the & and one space...now it says ok you you need to save-
pick a name that you&#39;ll know it&#39;s for the final restore- like finalxmlready

8. Everything should be good now. (To be on the safe side turn off your modem when you&#39;re
changing your firewall settings) just save it and go to: overview=>preferences=>and click
the restore button in the zone alarm firewall. Load the file finalxmlready.xml and it should
open a box saying loading, once its complete It should say that there were no problems.
Now you need to check if that’s true, by going to the firewall=>zone section where all the
rules should appear.


*******************************************************************
After that, u should be fine from the RIAA and other cocksuckers. :lol: ;) besides, ur chances of getting caught are slim to none. really, they are. good luck. you will find the p2p world to be very exciting and full of great FREE stuff. Peace out. ;) B)

I&#39;m not picking him because I didn&#39;t think anybody would have did what u just did by writing all that. I told him to search because that&#39;s been talked about. But I was a lil rude sorry Demon. :D

i&#39;m always trying to help out someone new. i might not be online, but if i am, i&#39;ll try to help any way i can

secret.... :rolleyes:

thanks for all the info guys.

it&#39;s been very useful.

:D

yeah, i probably shoulda used the search feature, but on many of the other message boards i frequent, the search feature is either disabled or reserved for "paying" users.

i checked the FAQ here, but sometimes users have their own tricks and tips that aren&#39;t covered in the FAQ

:)

thanks again&#33;
