Soulseek Users Beware....

[marlowe_is_dead]

fucking riaa; I hope someone bombs their HQ

i'd just like to add that you still have to be careful. PG is good, very useful, and reduces the risk by quite a bit, but it's not foolproof, so please don't think that you can throw caution to the wind.

Be careful folks, thats all i'm saying....

I only purchase albums for my very favorite artists. (ya know, so they dont stop playin hehe)

if i like an album i'll buy it (assuming it's available over here), what the RIAA, MPAA etc need to realise is that if they droped their prices, did a single internatonal release date etc etc, they would cut priacy by a bit, and in europe it's all about the fact that the US gets it all first, in the UK more than elsewhere - the prices are all fixed, far above the actual cost etc

I've said it before, and I'll say it agian, the US film and music industry needs to wake up and realise that the US is no longer isolated, we are now a global society, and need to be treated as such

and back on topic, been hit several times today, both PG and my firewall setups are working hard

Thats very true Luca,we always seem to pay over the odds for goods here compared to our American friends.


I am downloading music that i just wouldn't bu normally,am using soulseek to broaden my musical horizons.


I do still buy albums,but tend to get them from my local record shop then one of the big ones....HMV,Virgin,wouldn't shop there if you paid me.

Soulseek is back up now!!

zone alarm does the same thing, your almost undetectible.
Besides there is too many easy targets out there for them to come and shut me down.

Zone Alarm does not do the same thing as PG,try reading up on a subject before you post in it.

There are too many easy targets out there and you are one of them,same as anyone else using k-lite.The anti piracy groups have been targeting k-lite for a long time now and i get far more connections closed in k-lite then i have ever had on soulseek.

Had 6 more RIAA attempts blocked during the night,that i woke up to this morning.

They keep on knocking but they can&#39;t get in&#33;&#33; [/b][/quote]
Hi N£MO - in one respect you are correct about ZA "does not do the same thing as PG" - but only in the fact you have to configure it manually. In other words, it does have the same effect - its just not as easy. Any IP ranges you put into the "blocked" zone will in effect be blocked and a log record is created for you to look at. IMHO ZA, whilst not being the most user friendly of firewalls, still is one of the best out there. But having said that, IMHO PG is probably one of the most user friendly ones

Ive been using ZA Pro for well over a year and have had no problems with it (so far).

Peace
