1 edit | deja vu I could have sworn they already tried something like this.
RIAA needs to lose the ego. They want to be the ones that solve the problem, and solve it their way. They waste money on solutions that don't focus on the problem. The problem is, the cost of music is overpriced. They don't see it that way.
They want complete control of content.
They will fail. Doesn't take a psychic to see that.

| Stand by for improved internet privacy I believe they can do it. They can go to AOL and say put this two second section(or less)of a song on your servers and if it tries to fly through stop it. For awhile there it jumped from napster to morpheus to kazaa etc. Every other month everybody had to go to a different program. It's been kinda dead in the water now and we need a new freenet type thing that would stream live video and such. Something encrypted. I like the direction the riaa is going now maybe it will bring new counter technology instead of feeding lawyers for crappy songs you can record off the radio. | |

| I dont care what they do Reguardless of what they ever do, I will continue to download my music. I have paid for enough cd's/tapes/records/dvd's to justify the ones I download. If a cd didn't cost friggen $20 I'm sure I would buy more. Same goes for dvd's. A lot of the music I download you can't even buy anymore. You try and find an original beatles album. For that fact try and find any older rock. What about this.... I have hundreds of tapes, probably close to 700 or so. I have downloaded just about all of them so I could have digital versions for cd's, is that a crime to? I own the tapes, so I should be able to have a back up copy of it, correct? So what are they going to do, come to my house search through my boxes,crates, and cabinets full of tapes,records, and cds to see if I have a tape for each mp3 I have? Blah. Whatever they come up with is easy to get around. | |

| Huh?? Does anybody have anymore shrooms? I'm all out...
Check out the funky colors...
(I'm sure this will happen at some point, but it's still not going to stop people from sharing.)
Explain to me How the MPAA can make a movie run it in theaters for weeks if not months, and then sell it on DVD & pay-per-view for ~$10, but these crappy, can't sing for crap air-heads, so-called artists that didn't even write their own music, make Music cd's for near $20 a pop...
Filesharing is legal, as long as you don't profit from it. The industry is just mad that some of their own technology got ahead of them, and they can't profit from it any more!

| Sounds Like Spyware to me said by CNet:
According to the report, the software recognizes "psycho-acoustical" properties of a song; meaning it in a sense "listens" to the song, identifies it as a copyrighted work, then stops it from being traded.
Does this sound even a little bit like spyware to anyone else? | |

| RIAA == worms that refuse to grow up and fly ahhhhahahaha.. you gotta laugh at them. if they'd put all the money they're spending on legal fees and everything they've done to stop and unstoppable tide on POSITIVE solutions (like apple's somewhat decent attempt), they could have been half way to "rescuing" their failing arses. even if they do shut down every P2P app, and every 0sec MP3 site (thus destroying the proliferation of music the REST of us with brains like), every premium usenet provider, every bittorrent site and tracker, they still aren't going to stop private FTPs or Waste-type virtual private network, LAN party bit-exchange orgies, and as a last resort, good ole no-tech sneakernet ("hey, could you burn me a bunch of music you like?") and countless other ways around their BS. the RIAA is a dying, cancerous company that refuses to change for their own better, and frankly, unlike 99.9% of humanity, nobody will care if they die. | |

Good grief, did anyone in this figure out the size of the database of copyrighted works that would be involved, and the variations that would be involved in varying levels of MP3 alone? How about that new coded iTunes is using (AC4?)? Then add on Vorbis and FLAC...and you're going to figure out if this data flying over the wire "sounds like" the original work. Ahhhhh....OK. Iff'n you say so...

Maineville, OH | How stupid So you use a re-engineered version of the client, like Kazaa Lite. Or even better, just block their database address. Or will the RIAA halt all P2P downloads if their database cannot be queried??

Wyoming, MI | That's horrible There are legitimate reasons for downloading RIAA music mp3s, like if the cd is copy protected and you want to listen to it on your MP3 player (that doesn't support WMA/DMA). Anyway, is this sort of like the thing MusicBrainz Tagger uses? | |

| lucky canadians here in canada we are aloud to download music as much as we want as long as we do not distribute the files along to other users or burn a cd and sell it or give it as long as it is for the downloaders own personal use and like allot of you said most p2p apps are not U.S. based and the RIAA cannot tell them what to do

| Make the music affordable and save money I guess the RIAA just doesn't get it. They keep throwing good money after bad. I believe that if you make the music affordable you will have greater sales and less theft.
They are spending all of their money on lawyers and technology locks for their products. Any lock that can be opened can be picked.
Where is this smart filter going to be placed? If they want it in all P2P applications they had best figure out that not everyone is under the control of the American Congress and all that will happen is that the P2P applications that will be used will be written overseas.
To wrap this up, I believe that $1.00 per song or $10.00 per album is a fair price for their product. Anything more than that and they will continue to waste their money trying to control theft. If they can get it lower than that great. But I believe they work on a business model where they charge what the believe the market will bear and would rather have few sales for more dollars.
