They will fail.Quote:

To quote Paul:Quote:
KaZaA Lite is unstoppable, no what what happens to Sharman
This is not good news for the file sharing community.
:huh: Doesn't Kazaa already have a filter with a password and everything, that prevents from downloading porn? :huh:
Have you read the whole article? Check out the last lines:
"He said his work has shown that at federal government agencies there are people who spend time at work downloading porn."
:D Nothing will happen. :D
Case closed. ;)
This guy thinks he is tech savvy...LMOL.Quote:
Committee Chairman Tom Davis, R-Va., was surprised. "This is really very alarming to me as a parent who thought he was tech savvy on this kind of thing to see how far this has gone," he said.
Quoting Paul for the second time tonight: :)Quote:

Don't worry, it won't happen, are they going to sue 12 million people? :huh:
i'm not saying it WILL be taken down...
but now there is a whole new group of people involved..
:angry: what is wrong with sharing porn? those bastards just looking ways to sue and take down kazaa...
That is the funniest thing I've read all week! And I read the latest President Bush quotes every morning, so that is saying something. :D :lol: :lol: :lol:Quote:
dont get too bothered if kazaa gets shut down all that will happen is another 10 filesharing sites will open and every1 will just flock to 1 of them instead
There is porn on the fastrack network :o
cool
I don't think they will every close down kazaa. even if they stop the company making the software for it, i bet they would make it opensource just to spite the doj :rolleyes:
Big deal...heard all this crap talk about how kazaa is in trouble its just scare monger tactics.You got more chance of winning the lottery then getting caught for sharing so forget it... :)
Hey just cause some of us including me like to rip a CD and then share it don't mean were like bad or something. But every P2P program has had porno on it. Even File Topia has it and nobody says a word there. The people who own it in the first place are responsible not the P2P program.
:sleeping: :sleeping: :sleeping:
LOL I actually watched the whole congressional thing on cspan.
what I found hilarious was seeing the media defender guy sitting right next to the CEO of grockster.
that was a once in a lifetime picture.lol
Its no accident they're reporting something so inane and irrelevant -- this is a smear campaign, CNN would never report a heartwarming story about how Kazaa users are contributing to society or democracy or capitalism, its against their interests.
I think the association of P2P with porn on CNN is more calculated than most people realize, and should not be treated lightly. CNN is part of a huge media conglomerate, and has a vested interest in stopping copyright infringement. And it just happens to be the most influential news network in the USA, probably the world, and its coverage has vast influence over public opinion.
What the media corporations need is more, stricter laws, and more public funds devoted to enforcement of those laws. This is all about the battle for public opinion. CNN has a lot of potential to convice mr and mrs suburbanite that its time to GET TOUGH ON PIRACY, its costing the economy BILLIONS, and costing the American People Jobs and Prosperity. P2P in its current form is by no means guaranteed, for the simple reason that piracy is costing the corporations *big* money -- how long do you think the status quo is going to allow illegal activities to cost corporations millions of dollars? Who do you think has more influence in the halls of power -- the chairmen of the board of the Fortune 500, or a bunch of teenagers?!
I'm not saying that P2P will die, but I do think there is a distinct possibility in the medium-term that it will be crippled enough through laws that the corps will stop losing the majority of the money they're losing now. The network effect works both ways, so if you bust the "power pirates," the 20% of users that share 80% of the material, and publicize it, it'd be a vicious cycle of fewer people willing to take the chance, with less and less reason to bother, cuz fewer and fewer people are willing to take the chance...
sorry bout the rant, but its easy to forget that a lot of rich, smart, powerful people would like to wipe Kazaa off the face of the earth and never look back, and post-9/11, their ability to pass laws they used to have wet dreams about all of a sudden are possible. the p2p community needs to start thinking seriously about how to encrypt traffic en masse...
<_< If people would stick to only trading Music we would not have this problem.
Heh..not necessarily just music, but brand-new-released movies and pornography are probably the biggest reasons why P2P is getting more notice. It's pretty difficult to justify "fair use" of a movie that isn't out on video/dvd yet.
:ninja:
Does this mean that Britney Spears is porn? :huh:Quote:
The staffer performed a Google search to reach Kazaa, then once on Kazaa searched for Britney Spears. Hundreds of downloadable files then appeared on the screen.
I kinda like the idea. :-)
what about snuff. there is some pritty sick stuff on ft.
Even if they want to prevent minors from viewing porn, they should be worrying about sites like www.hafuz.co.il and www.sex4free.co.il (both Hebrew) who give out copyrighted pr0n movies/clips for free and, in sex4free's case, also encourage visitors to hack pr0n paysites and share the passwords with everyone. In their forum, there's even a section to request passwords for paysites... basically, Kazaa is just a minor pr0n source... they will never stop minors from viewing pr0n. Besides, maybe i'm justsaying this because i'm only 16, but really, they should allow everyone after 13 to view pr0n, after all, masturbation is a healthy process and it's natural for a person to desire pr0n... :unsure:
:o I'm there!!! :oQuote:

In case you haven't noticed, music is the main reason why most P2P software goes down the toilet. ;)Quote:

;) The RIAA has loss.....on their last legs.This is a new battle that MovieWorld will have to face.
PORN!!!? WHERE WHERE!!! lol, kazaa can neva die no matter wut
Yeh this is true, and I doubt they can do anything about it. That quote reminds me of people who use expert systems (such as medical ones) if the doctor prescribes someone a drug on advice of the expert system and that drug has conflicts with other medication he/she is receiving the doctor will be sued not the person who made the mistake in the programming. It's similar i beleive in china, if you order a taxi and the taxi driver 'accidently' knocks down someone the person(s) who ordered the taxi are arrested (im not sure if that one is true tho, but i have read it before) :devil: haha sorry i love these facesQuote:

thanx for the links :P just a little hard to understand..lolQuote:
