What happens after KaZaA?

[A. Hitler]

I was just wondering: Are those ppl @ RIAA and MPAA going to go after users who use mIRC, eDonkey, and eMule to download movies, music, and other kinds of ****? I'm curious... and a little bit concerned.

Thank you.

They'll go after the next easiest target, your best bet is to not be involved.

[Bigjakkstaffa]

Yep, they'll jump onto whatever the big dopey masses make the next big thing, thats why Kazza's getting it in the neck, because its simple enough for most peole to use and thus used by millions as opposed to sumink liek Direct Connect, which is for people with their heads screwed on only

Ah, you give me a lot of hints, Mr. Hitler. I know exactly who you are.

Welcome back to the forums.

[A. Hitler]

^BUMP^

Yeah, Jakk, but what network do you think they're going after? mIRC? eDonkey? eMule? IMO, it would be tough for those SOBs to sue those who are using mIRC.

The Fuhrer

[causticVapor]

Mr. Hitler, you know there are european equivalents of the RIAA.. in every european country... they just haven't taken any action yet...

As far as the RIAA is concerned... It's a domino effect. Once they think they've "cleaned house" at KaZaA and Grokster, they'll go after the others, Emule, Edonkey, mIRC, etc.

Very ironic that mIRC started out as a chat client and is now a major filesharing device. I don't think that's what the author intended it to be. :p

[A. Hitler]

By the time those SOBs start going house to house searching for stuff downloaded through mIRC, eDonkey, and the like, I'll be long gone... :D

The Fuhrer

[causticVapor]

I personally think cyan's advice is the best.

What do you mean "I'll be long gone"... Dane's been saying... things about you lately....

[A. Hitler]

Hehe... I'll be surfing in the North Pacific Ocean, dude. I'll be at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, which, by the way, is rated as one of the top schools in the U.S. (I personally looked it up.)

The Fuhrer

BTW: A PhD at UHM is good enough for me.

[causticVapor]

You know piracy is not condoned in these forums... discussing it is not such a good idea.

BTW - UH is part of the US, smart one.:rolleyes:

[A. Hitler]

Hey, I just want to know what happens to those networks.

The Fuhrer

[herosrest]

Sooner or later the legal copyrite precedents will be challenged.
The concepts are actually very unsound (hehe) - and it will be on a legal backburner until the final episode of Starwars. Laws are there to be challenged. :r

[causticVapor]

Surfing the waves and returning back to your dorm to find MIBs at your doorstep... long gone alright..

[A. Hitler]

Hey, I won't be doing that kind of **** in college. I have a job to do, and that is to get a PhD so I can be the first in the entire family with a respectable degree.

The Fuhrer

[causticVapor]

Right. :rolleyes:

You know you can't get a PhD at UH, they only offer master's degrees. Technically you have to go to another uni.

[A. Hitler]

Geez. :rolleyes:

Look it up for yourself. They do offer a PhD in Computer Science.

The Fuhrer

[herosrest]

Setting the record straight.

My Avatar. l love it. It has absolutely nought to do with piracy.
Honestly.
It is the 'Jolly Roger' :rolleyes:

I can't say I disagree with you there. Copyright laws are based on outdated concepts not very well suited for internet media.

Unfair/unjust laws are there to be challenged.... but not recklessly.

Hey, Mr. Vapor, you should check out Unleashed. He has two puppies.

One more snipe then i'm off this topic.

Is it fair or just for whole swathes of the Marketing industry to target and manipulate teens and kids as they do? and then slaughter them for biting back.

[A. Hitler]

^BUMP^

It seems that the music industry wants to gain every penny lost. Those SOBs are hungry for money! And they're even targeting innocent people like teens and grandparents.

The Fuhrer

[causticVapor]

Hey, no need to snipe! :eek:

I was more or less agreeing with you there. The RIAA is doing the right thing for the wrong reason to the wrong people. They are greedy, and they are suing underpaid part-time workers.

But I guess I'll shoot back: What did showing the finger do for Mr. Anderson? They bugged him anyway.

IMHO, civilly protesting is much better than gunning down record shops, in a metaphorical sense.

[A. Hitler]

BTW, Mr. Vapor, once I'm settled, I have my PhD, and I own a store, you know what I'm thinking about doing? Video Reviews. That's right. Maybe I'll give ol' Reynolds a run for his money...

[A. Hitler]

Ah, I can't wait for twenty years to pass by. I can see it now. My company, DeLaCruz Corporation, declares war on the lobby group RIAA.

[causticVapor]

What do you think Scionsys will be doing?

[A. Hitler]

You want to join the war? Two days before my declaration of war on RIAA, I'll declare war on Intel Corporation and bring those guys down.

The Fuhrer

[A. Hitler]

DeLaCruz Corporation and Scionsys vs. Intel Corporation and RIAA... This sounds like a big brawl and almost like another world war. (BTW, Mr. Vapor, are you still in Spain?)

The Fuhrer

[herosrest]

Fight the good fight with all thy might,
sitting on a keg of dynamite.

Light the fuse and it will be the biggest bang in history.

[causticVapor]

You're really plugged in, aren't you?

The RED pill, the RED pill!!!

(to Mr. Hitler)

[A. Hitler]

Intel Corporation has been defeated. RIAA has been crushed. DeLaCruz Corporation and Scionsys win "the war to end all corporate wars."

The Fuhrer

[A. Hitler]

DeLaCruz Corporation, along with Scionsys, buy Intel Corporation and control RIAA so that they will once again never pose a threat to the people.

The Fuhrer

[causticVapor]

Too bad. Smith has gotten the best of you. :(

Another hopeless case...

[A. Hitler]

What are you talking about, my friend?

The Fuhrer

[causticVapor]

Watch the Matrix and you'll see. ;)

BTW, if you do video reviews, I STRONGLY suggest you do more research beforehand than Mr. Reynolds...

[A. Hitler]

I'll take that into consideration, my friend. BTW, my Video Reviews will be different and a lot better than Rodney's. (Have you noticed that he's hardly in the videos? He should be holding the product and talking about it instead of talking about it and having the camera focused on it 100% of the time. :rolleyes: )

The Fuhrer

Plus, mine will be offered in several different languages. ;)

[causticVapor]

But oftentimes he says wrong stuff and stuff that shows he doesn't know what he's talking about.

It's not just the dynamics of the videos, (which as you mentioned, sucks too); more importantly, it's the core information. :(

[A. Hitler]

Have you seen his video reviews on memory modules? It's basically the same thing over and over again. There's nothing to write home about, basically. And you're right. More juice, more information, needs to be put into the video reviews.

The Fuhrer

[causticVapor]

More importantly still, the right information.

I think Mr. Reynolds is a bit disillusioned...

[A. Hitler]

Hehe... I think he needs someone to take over and do video reviews for him.

[causticVapor]

His girlfriend or whoever she is seems to be better at it...

[A. Hitler]

ROFLMAO!

Actually, Sherry is his wife.

[causticVapor]

Lucky bastage..

[cwin]

heeeellllooooo....
I cant work this thread out

:rolleyes:

[causticVapor]

Threaded discussions between him and me always end up this way.

You must believe, cwin :x

[cwin]

:D Ill consult my Oracle programmers handbook, and be off :t

[20Michelle01]

huh? where is this thread leading 2. im lost...

[Bigjakkstaffa]

You'll get used to it... its a common occurance :x

--Jakk:t

[Aznmask]

RIAA and MPAA is target ppl taht d/l mp3, movie, in P2P like kazaa, winmx, etc.

I wonder which association is software ? are they doing anything on sueing ppl that d/l software on p2p?

[cbh]

Forget about Kazaa! It's the era of BitTorrent and Shareaza...

:D

[gibsinep]

Bittorrent is even easy to track as it shows your IP right in the program if you just look at uploads. BT is not a wise choice at all.


Do I sense Gen Hirohito back?

Why did you keep typing 'blow' in your reply? Just wondering...

:confused:

[Bigjakkstaffa]

I did, hence he went the distance the same day


Your fu*king name blows btw..

I can appreciate that opinion myself, but watch the lingo please, okay?;)

--Jakk:t

[gibsinep]

cbh- Shareza is just as unsafe

I can't believe you some of you will go to the length of breaking the law and not even know the facts or be secure about it. :rolleyes:



Just ban this guy, we know who he is, we know the trouble he will cuase. :D ;)

adolf... he sure was mad (as in crazy or insane)... but i wouldn't say evil, though

[MJCfromCT]

anybody who would choose a username such as that and off the bat offend countless dozens of sysopt members including myself should be banned, thank heavens he was

[cwin]

Personally, his name dosent insult me, i try not to feel annoyed or insulted by words, but if he insults others, im glad hes been banned

[herosrest]

Why didn't riaa go after the OS producers for enabling this mess in't lst place.

ps. what is the western front?
