Rather, they are only attempting to slow it to the point where new releases have a window of relief from piracy.

The lawsuits and methods of circumventing laws to pander more money out of people, and attempts to further control recordable mediums, only show people what kind of slimebags they really are.

As for the impact? I remember them trying this on Napster, Morpheus, Kazaa, and so forth, well before they've been hitting torrent sites. The only people it really stops from piracy entirely would be the same people (i.e. less educated) who don't even know how to use a .torrent file. Otherwise, after being tricked, they just wise up.

I recall a giant effort made by the Chimaira's label when their album The Impossibility of Reason came out, as well as Disturbed's Believe, to curb piracy uploaded songs from their album with recorded voices telling them to buy their album, throughout. It was pretty effective in the more immediate, short term, in the few days span where people are most furiously crazed to get their hands on a new, hot album. That effort actually gathered some respect from me, as well. It's proof there are more intelligent, legitimate ways of fighting piracy than being the corporate, big brother bully who's going to stomp all over your ass (read: the Gestapo SWAT-like RIAA uniforms used during one of the more famous raids), or sue your 12 year old sister if you don't play by his rules.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18066766 Mon, 26 Mar 2007 15:37:11 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18064982 brianiscool : Cheap tactics , the wise can determine a faker right away.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18064982 Mon, 26 Mar 2007 10:11:55 EDT
