I've never understood the amounts people are charged for this sort of thing... 150,000 dollars for one fucking song? I could understand if I downloaded the same song 150 thousand times, but seriously no way in hell is one track ever worth even remotely that much. Fuck the RIAA. |

I think that's statutory damages, not compensatory, i.e. it's completely unrelated to the actual financial damage you did. $150,000 per work is the maximum amount allowed by the relevant law, and of course they're going to demand maximum damages for maximum intimidation. (Solution: launching deadly mutant spider-slug robot rockets at Hillary Rosen and all her cohorts and anybody else involved in similar actions elsewhere.) |

Depends on whether or not you're downloading material that falls under the "jurisdiction" of RIAA; if you're not , then there's nothing to worry about. There's always Peer Guardian though, but it eats system resources and it's generally unstable.. so.. |

the riaa probably doesn't give a shit about VSnares or Autechre, only the artists who make them a lot of money. actually not the artists, just the money |

handoverthecart > maybe but do you think they will check what you're downloading/sharing? ' _ ' if you're sharing 10'000 mp3s, they won't check what the mp3s are... (by the way, do they still aim mostly at sharers, or do they aim simple downloaders now?) |

Gwely: why the hell would you get rid of KAZAA man? first off get SOULSEEK! its way better!. WAY WAY WAY better.... and secondly this law that they are suing people with is only applicable in America and possible somewhere in europe, NOT CANADA. have no fear. |

i read somewhere that they just search for a few popular artists and look for people sharing a huge amound of files. of couse this information could be incorrect.. |

actually, I have an easier time connecting to users on kazaa then on slsk, what with the entire community always fucking queued. If I can't get something on Kazaa, I get it on slsk, that's really all it comes down to for me. |

Gwely Mernans: awsome dood! heh.... yeah *rockout! Zephyr Twin: cool man, i dont use either cause I got a mac! |
||||||||

|
|
is soulseek 'safer' thank kazaa in this respect? like..... are you less likely to get picked as a soulseek user cus its a smaller, less popular program? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
last i read they're targetting big sharers.... they're not going to sue you for stealing 50 songs, theyll get you for giving away 10 000 maybe cus they know people are more interested in getting music than sharing it so, a) people are more willing to stop sharing than to stop d/ling, but b) the less people share, the less there is to download... |

they need to hurry up and get a mac version of slsk goin already. ;) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i mean, are there any good (with large communities) filesharing programs for mac? I'm guessing there probably are, I just have no idea. |
