For A L L That Use P2p Or Share Files

[Sparkle1984]

And the RIAA has every right to use the methods necessary to track down the perpetrators that the perpetrators use to commit the offense.

NO WAY!!!

@ Mr Maniotis, why are you even on this site if you are just going to stick up for the poor starving executives at the RIAA?
They are invading people's privacy.
They were given many chances to negotiate on a deal, but they refused so they should just stop whingeing!! They are only making it worse for themselves. They will never be able to stop filesharing, and if they try to shut one network down, many more will appear.

hey guys,

we have to share our thought openly to understand each other better.
ALSO OFFLINE!!! It is quite important in everyday life also if it is difficult sometimes :)

I would be glad to see a gread ad in tv about kazaa :) like:
"for a better world, for a better understanding.

- share your thoughts and your life. share files"
Or an ad in the newspaper or on the street, I mean the great ads close to
the highway :) nice, right? only a little bit expensive but WORTH!!!!

The other thing I am intersting in is meeting other Kazaa Users
in my area :) so who of you reading this is living in Nuremberg?
come one meet me :) write me here :)

[internet.news]

hey in one article there was mentioned:

"ways to pay the artist"
:making p2p subscription service - i do not think is the good
idea cause we should share our thoughts openly :)

I know what you mean - but sharing is important :)
I ve tried ther rhapsody at audiogalaxy :) not bad but only usa :)

but another good OFFLINE payment method

MANY ARTISTS ARE PLAYING THERE MUSIC IN THE STREEET AND
BARS OF MY CITY AND LOCALLY AND DIRECTLY SELL THEIR MUSIC
ON THE STREET - IF YOU BUY DIRECTY AT THE ARTIST YOU CAN BE SURE
HE GET ALL THE MONEY AND MUSIC INDUSTRY NO PERECENTAGE :)

UNFORTUNATELY NOT ALL ARTISTS ARE PLAYING ON STREETS -
BUT SOME UNKNOWN NEW ARTIST ARE ALSO GOOD :)

iti is just an idea :)

thanks anyway, david.

From EFF...

Dear EFF Supporter,

We've got some amazing news: EFF supporters like you sent over 25,000
letters to Congress to protest the RIAA's war on peer-to-peer (P2P) file-
sharing. Congress listened, and the rest of the country is waking up.
Senator Norm Coleman, the chairman of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on
Investigations, has called for hearings to analyze the RIAA's deluge of
subpoenas. This is the first step in the right direction, so let's keep
the momentum going. Make sure that the RIAA isn't the only organization in
the room when the hard questions start coming; tell Congress that you want
the Electronic Frontier Foundation to represent your interests in the
hearings:

http://action.eff.org/action/index.asp?ste...tep=2&item=2770

Our goal is to have over 100,000 letters delivered by the time of the
hearing, so once you've taken action, give the people you care about an
opportunity to make a difference. Forward this message to five friends,
family members or coworkers and tell them why it matters to you. Tell them
that in addition to the hearings, a Boston judge ruled this month that the
RIAA doesn't have the authority to use a D.C. court's subpoenas on
Massachusetts students. Tell them that SBC Internet, a California Internet
service provider, is suing the RIAA for misuse of the legal system. Now is
the time to act together:

http://action.eff.org/action/index.asp?ste...tep=2&item=2770

Our progress in Congress, the courts and the press has been remarkable, but
we still need help with the basics. EFF is a small organization with 23
staff members, but we rely on donations from individuals like you to do
this work. We've set a goal of doubling our membership this year, from
nearly 10,000 to over 20,000. Please help us make sure that we can
continue to fight for your rights by becoming an EFF Member today:

Thanks for your support so far and keep up the good work!

[firebird32]

sorry guys would have sent a letter in but congressmen dont recognise the uk as a state.....yet.lol

[DigitHAL9000]

I really hate all these people makin' laws and complaining about problems they almost don' t know.
records companies could surely find some way or another to solve the "problem" about downloading mp3s (for example CDs not playable in computers - I got one).
but still this is something THEY say: mp3 is a way to find music otherwise out of stock, rarities, vinil tracks unsuitable in digital format, and overmore is a way to preserve music memory.
I download music (not only that) but still I spend about 200 Euros each month in my music store, because if a music product is good I buy it because it deserves it.
on the other hand, no one can ask me to buy a CD where there are 2 good tracks and the rest is shit.
This is also a way to force people to give us better products.
They only give us products thinking about how much could they gain over our skin (thinkin' 'bout taxes and artists' rights) not thinkin' 'bout quality, and the prices get always higher.
talkin' 'bout artists' rights we have to know they get a very low percentage of the price we pay, mostly goes to people we would also like not to give them a cent.

I said all this about music but we can apply same reasons to video sharing (I still go to the cinema almost every week, sometimes twice a week, even if I download movies) and also software sharing.

Stop increasing prices, there' s a limit to the money in the world, let us some!!!

Sorry guys, but I ain&#39;t gonna bother. I have other stuff to do, like stare at my wall. If you think that any member of congress is going to step up and say "giving money to big corporations is wrong" then you&#39;re living in the past.

You know what, that may be true, but you also have to remember that the US government is a representative government, which means everyone in office must represent the people of America. This means if more and more people support something (such as this), the elected official will eventually show support for the people&#39;s requests. If the elected official doesn&#39;t seem to represent the people who voted for him, he will loose their votes in the next election (and if that many people are using P2P, that could be a dangerously high number).

So, instead of staring at your wall, why don&#39;t you try doing something and tell your elected official...the one who is representing you in courts and meetings and such...to stop this RIAA bullshit. I&#39;ve had enough of it, and yes, my letter&#39;s in the mail.

Bush has removed any chance of that.

You Democrats make me sick. But you know what? Don&#39;t change the subject. Just get your ass off the chair facing the wall and do something. [/b][/quote]
hhahahahaa like they care wat the people thinx&#33;&#33;&#33;
man once they are in office it becomes their own private aggenda&#33;&#33;&#33;

[vaughn_le]

This is the bottom line you guys:

These congress just wants money, all they really care is the donation they get from each company if they help them win.

I say if this is a real problem, why does the RIAA or the MPAA speak? can&#39;t the stars or the music artists talk for themselves? I mean we dont have to take this "bs" from the companies, and if the artists or the stars talk out, we can ask them.... How much do they earn when they are on TV? I mean, don&#39;t they make their money off of TV? Concerts? Etc.....

I really believe they just all need to just stfu and leave us the hell alone b/c what we do isn&#39;t a crime. It&#39;s call "common sense", they provide - we use&#33; Isnt&#39; that a survival trait? Last time I check, somethign must die to let other things live. I can&#39;t survive w/o no music, so these companies and corporations must die to let me live&#33;

i dont know waht&#39; saying.. babbling&#33; lol just shut up haha
