Strange Sound, Screeching Songs...et Cetera

[razmo]

Hi

I dont know if someone has already said this as im not willing to read through 30+ pages of posts and i know some ppl have suspected the RIAA for producing/spreading those mp3s and its 100% correct.

I was doing a research for a paper on cyber crime and here a quote from the 2003 CSI/FBI Computer Crime & Security Survey

"the RIAA worked rather diligently behind the scenes last year to "poision the well" for music traders, creating and distributing bogus files that appear to be real song files but that in fact contain noise or, in one case in 2003, Madonna cursing out her fans"

a copy can be found here if u are interested.

I have a solution to the problem::

go here and look at the post buy brownguy02:
http://forum.win-drivers.co.uk/index.php?s...opic=3144&st=0&
download the attached program installer and run it. it will place a program called "noel's mp3 scanner" on your desktop. simply place this program inside your music directory and run it to scan your downloaded files. it will automatically find corrupted songs with the screeching noise and place them in a quarentined folder inside of your music folder. just do this before you burn a cd and then you wont end up with the crap on it and you'll know which songs you need to redownload. also.. delete the songs once they go into the quarentined folder. if we continue to allow corrupted music to be shared on the kazaa network, things will only get worse. please distribute this installer as widely as possible. the more people we can get to rid their music libraries of corrupted riaa songs, the less problems all of us will have downloading.
again, the link is here:

look at the post by brownguy02.
please post this installer on other forms or host it and provide a better link to the program. thank you.

Thanx dude, works like a charm

I haven't read all 34 pages of this thread so this might already of been said.

I found that the majority of these files are 'Created by Realnetworks' or something like that in the 'Comments' part of the files details. I think it might be an attempt to stop files being shared, maybe the RIAA or something.

BTW...i proved its not just the RIAA to blame

i did a dodgy rip job without even knowing and i had kazaa going at the same time and shared it then i realised it was dodgy after having a person complain on soulseek...So thats just thrown your RIAA theories into the bullshit bin...

ALSO, MANY fake MP3 sources are in the 38.118.0.0-38.119.255.255 ip range.

BLOCK THEM!

A couple tests with download DATs and K-Dat will confirm this if you don't believe me. B)

HiZzZ!!! My personal opinion is that some kazaa lite "bug" in the last editions is the responsible for that Annoying proBlem..!! I know that everyone tries to make it better but as i noticed the prob with the screeching sound is viewable only at the last KaZaA lite editions At all the previous editions of KaZaA lite but at the NomAl KaZaA too, i've never met that prob again and thats why i believe some bug in new versions have this fault...
2nd as at the others replies upper someone said about RIAA i don't believe she is responsible as if she would filter some tracks with bugs so eliminating the piracy everybody would downloading the same file corrupted or broken => But I know too many people who downloaded the EXACTLY same files as me but in some of them worked and in some others didn't [ like me ]. Trust me here in Cyprus hundreds of people i know have the same shi**y problem So finally my opinion about the "bug" i refered above is that maybe some edits in the KaZaA Lite that help the kazaa to accelerate in order to download faster cause [ because of the high speed ]=>I HAVE A NORMAL 56k modem and have speeds between 15-16 stable sometimes.. )) some files losing-pushing too much and finally after a dosage of pressure corrupting... Anyone knowing something.. everyone would appreciate his opinion ;p
