A bit more appropriate.

Hey old-timer.... just remember.... for every line of code there is an Anti-Code

Something about 100,000,000 holes and only one bat !

sure you may have created one hell of a bat [for now]
I give its usefulness 6 mos tops before its broken ?
better have a whole bunch of new bat's handy....!

I'll spare you all the F.U.'s and all that

Here is the really sad part
Over the last year or two
I have spent a couple of thousand $$ on music and videos

Over the previous 35+ years
I don't think I have spent.... "Maybe" $200 combined ! ! !
the sudden increase of cash flow out of my wallet and into Music/Movie coffers has been directly related to file share....

If I like something.... I will buy it.... and support all involved in it's creation
even if I downloaded it for free first...

Your a smart guy.... do the math !

I am not the only one out there with this philosophy
sure there are many that will not pay for anything....
that will never change

ever borrow a book from a friend or college ? and then read it ?
[YOU PIRATE... ha ha] point is Same Same...
If it was a damn good book you probably went out and bought your own copy
Can we all say "FREE ADVERTIZING" here ?

Fact is no one has really lost any money from something someone was never willing to pay for in the first place...

focus your efforts on the real PIRATES.... the ones that are copying the music, movies, ect and SELLING them on the open market, swap meats, flea markets, street corners or where ever...
[If my dumb ass can spot a copy... surly the "PIRATE PLOICE" can !]
that is where all you whiners are losing your revenue from...
they are the ones stealing your paying customers..... Dahhhhh...
not us stinkin file sharers

FYI: I have never, or will I ever, PAY for PIRATED or STOLEN anything !
I simply will not "support" that behavior

I'll close with this little tid bit....
Instead of fighting a losing battle that has been going on for centuries
Sharing/Lending

try to encourage others that if they are impressed with something
Music, movies, whatever.....
to support the creators so they will make more of the same !

face it.... you, or any other group will never fully stop file sharing
There are simply too many avenue's to cover....
By creating your screach program [I'm sure you didn't do that for free]
the only thing you have achieved is to increase the cost of the CD...
this will actually LOOSE Paying cusomers and the artist make less $$$

Have a Nice Day...

Ok, I haven't read this entire post, cuz honestly I got bored.  But as soon as I had a few times where I downloaded songs that had that God awful noise to them, I just started doin' shit a different way.  Maybe these tips will help the noobs out, if they haven't already done these things:

1. I play the song while it's downloading.  If the stream is coming in too fast (i.e. I'll have the song downloaded before I can tell it's a fake), I'll pause the download after about 1.5 MBs have been downloaded, and preview it.  When I hear that nasty li'l noise, I just cancel the download.

2. Looking for 'signs' in the filename won't work, but looking to see if the SAME USER has the SAME FILE multiple times on their PC will.  Then what I do is list all the files by that user.  For example, I just found someone sharing 5 copies of Dido's "White Flag".  Upon seeing what else he was sharing (192 files) I saw that many of them were duplicates.  I jotted his name down and whenever I go to get a file and see that user come up.... well guess what?  Chances are that it ain't the right file.  (shame on you, willum689.. you're just a tool of the Man yanno..)

3.  Think of it as a challenge.   I didn't hear Mary J. Blige's new song until yesterday - that song is the joint!  It took me about 8 downloads, but I finally have a real copy of it, and it sounds really good.  And for you @ssholes at the RIAA peepin' this post, I just bought Pink's cd, Taproot, Chevelle, and Disturbed.  Downloaders aren't the problem, we're the end result of your bullshit.

...yeah that's all I gots to say.

how wierd, just like within the last 2 or 3 days, i've been noticing something wierd with the mp3 files that i'm downloading, i'm gettign teh ones with like 100+ users and for some reason when i paly the sounds, and scroll through it, i hear these loud screech noises that won't go away and it's been like that no matter how many times i redownload the song, like for instance the new john mayer song has like 200 users downloaded it but for some reason it makes this loud noise throughout the song. I downloaded the newest k++lite version too witht eh replaced txt file. so now what? is it gonna be like this forever?

Why don't someone just make another p2p?
Soulseek has now gone down.
win mx is as slow as a snail.
and kazaa is slowly been destroyed
we need a new file sharing program

its another p2p program

we share albums not singles

and there is nowhere near the amount of users as kazaa...but the choice and variety is still there...
