Us Or Them - Fake Files

[besbajah]

Hi Folks,

Hope you're doing well, remember to be nice to each other.

I AM SO FED UP with downloading fake files. I've downloaded 'Under control'
by the strokes now, ooooh, more times than I can remember. Each time its
a copy of 'last night' and you know the rest, blank, nothing thereafter.

WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT THIS?

Sometimes tracks are really long and, well I just don't start now because I know any new tracks will be purposely bodged up to prevent piracy.

Well what is it? Us or the Record company tossers putting all this fake shit out?
Its killing my enjoyment of Kazaa.

Just make sure you always preview the file before the download is complete. And there is a topic HERE about how to avoid fake files.

Do research and you can FIND these Fake File servers that AREN'T blocked yet.

Then you can help everyone.

I've found the 38.118.x.x blockrange isn't quite large enough and there's probably other fake MP3 servers in other ip ranges that may be untouched by the ip blocker in KL++.

I just saw a shot that they had on 60 minutes on tv tonight that was directly related to this. the focus was on the movie industry, not RIAA, but they even SHOWED a room full of peeps on laptops, sitting there monitoring the number of fake files that their servers were distributing!! It pissed me off! Oh, not to mention them incorrectly calling us "hackers" as well as thieves.

I got a size 10 1/2 boot that has their asses' names on it.

I agree with my peers

"The above standard answer should not be construed as lazyness by the first party (UKMan) nor to be missinterpreted as lulling the second party (besbajah) into criminal activity. UKMan (the first party) also wishes it to be known that he (UKMan) does not take responsibility for any legal action the second party (besbajah) may be involved in as a result of his (UKMan) advice."

Peace

edit: UKMan (the first party) went to a party.
