 TxRoadDawgWe're Gonna Ride Forever join:2001-08-17 Warner Robins, GA | Ahhhhh If Only wonder if the riaa would have been so hot to trot to close napster instead of trying to reach a FAIR settlement with them. With napsters format they could have tracked the shares AND fairly compensated the artists they CLAIM to represent. INSTEAD they only forced napster to close, and like the pheonix rising from the ashes true p2p networking has risen where the only stats kept are users online and totals of files/gigs shared.
Thank you riaa for helping to give birth to programs now that A) distribute the download sources, thus letting me use the max availible downstream compared to the 1 to 1 exchange napster used, and B) made it possible to elimanate any central server, thus making tracking the actual files shared, and the COMPENSATION rightfully due the artists they are SUPPOSED to protect IMPOSSIBLE to determine.
as far as Kazaa specifically, give me morpheus over kazaa ANY day, pop-up ads are ANNOYING as hell to start with, but atleast Morpheus doesnt come packaged with 3rd party spy ware :( -- some may call me an outlaw, they just dont understand |
