RIAA: It starts... - Page 4

I feel quite safe using the new version of Kazaa lite, with its disableing file sharing options, and its options to block other users from looking at everything you have.

Well, they can actually. If the RIAA sets up their own server, and you attempt to download from them.

yea i mentioned that earlier in this topic. if they set up a trap and wait for you to download from them then grab your name and ip.

but then they would be sharing illegal files. lol

Well, yes and no. They have put out corrupt files in the past that are the same size as the real thing, but only play a small portion of the song before turning to junk. The trick there was to make it harder for people to get a good file, and then they get sick of it and just get the CD.

So they could use those.

Null · 07-24-2003, 12:22 PM

this is true, However then that fuzzy line starts to come in to play again.

do they wait for you to download the full thing? or nab your name when you start the DL? otherwise you could listen before you finish downloading and decide.

Then they've basically given you a defence to use. one could say they didnt download a copyrighted song. they downloaded a file that plays a section and stops. kinda like a demo. never downloaded the real thing from them.

there is so many ifs and buts. will be interesting if some of these goto court.

Would you guys think I was a selfish pig if I downloaded songs and then relocated them?

Damn... I've even downloaded from a few of them =\

http://www.techtv.com/news/culture/s...484600,00.html

notice how they're all "@Kazaa" no Kazaalite or such??

Null · 07-25-2003, 08:53 AM

no, i dont notice, they're all on the same network bro. it just so happens kazaa is the most popular.

theres a @fileshare and a @grokster

and i do believe kazaalite still uses @kazaa, no?

Oh, BTW, jason, you feeling safe with your new version. but who says they are using the newest version when they look? nothing is forcing everyone to upgrade. therefor wouldnt it be the same for them even if you are using a new version?

Um...I wouldnt think so...because Kazaa lite now has those options to block IP's and stop anyone from seeing your shared files and stuff like that...it wouldnt really matter what version other people are using...I have a feeling that not exactly what you mean though.

Null · 07-25-2003, 12:14 PM

well block ip's is pointless. they can always find your ip no matter what the program does.

but just not sure exactly how the block songs is going to work. with ppl on older versions. have to read a little on it.
