RIAA vs Us....

[propflux01]

Does anyone have an opinion or fact as to what may happen to 'us' as p2p users concerning downloading music? I heard the other day that the RIAA sued Verizon to get names/addresses of P2P users in order to make 'us' pay for our downloads.....Supposedly they were trying to get teh name/address of a Verizon user who has over 600 files of music sharing available, and they want it shut down or make him/her pay $$ for it. Any thoughts???

I haven't been able to download any files for several weeks since her meating regarding file sharing. The music industry has a monopoly and they plan to keep it.
If you have any suggestions I would appreciate it. I'm certain they are not going to get every address of every or any one person in order to sue. that's a big bluff but they have sucessfully shut down 3 internet providers taht I've tried.
thanks for the question

Bullshit

The RIAA can't touch MX

1: cos it's a decentralised prog
2: cos all mx packets are legally encrypted by mx producers. RIAA can't use any decrypted packets in court as evidence
3: Even if the RIAA does find a way to hurt us, there will be new p2p progs

Napster fell but gnutella, audiogalaxy and scour arose from it's ashes

They started the battle, we brought the war

That is quite an annoying username. I should get some language packs and use a multi-bit charactors in my username. Then I could have an even more confusing username.
