Maybe the RIAA should follow this campaign

Real reasons always convince me more than threats. I pirate lots of music and some games. On the other hand I also purchase a fair amount of CDs and all the games I currently "play" Some of which I may not have even thought to buy without playing them - or listening to their stuff. It's a bit of a roundabout...

it's purely money. riaa is going to be going after the big players on p2p, not p2p itself. so if you're a college person or something with a heavily traded node (like my ex), you could be in serious trouble. she's got like 400gb's of movies and crap she trades regularly on a large pipe.

they're going to be suing these "big players" for $750 on up to some crazy amount of several thousands PER ITEM.


i'd hate to be one of those folks. i completely stopped using p2p several months ago.

that video, while horribly disturbing, reminds of the fervent optimism of the early ninteys... anyway Riaa cant do a DAMN thing about the source of all the pirated movies, posted on IRC chatrooms and totally impossible for them to medle with. :rolleyes:

nothing is anonymous. You haven't noticed all the attacks on torrent sites? Most IRC servers COULD be taken down if the RIAA were so inclined...

I normally download a game and play it for a week. If I like it I'll buy it however if its crap well then I won't. Same thing goes for movies, sure its cool to see a movie before it comes out but if I like it I go see it at the movies because the quailty/experience is much better. I've seen so many games that a hyped up to be great and they either are horrible or I beat them in 4hours. Companies rarely have demos anymore so what else am I supposed to do.

I had an fserve of movies hosted in a channel.
the RIAA will go through the channels.. get on the fserves... get a list of the pirate stuf... get you IP.. notify your ISp.
I know...
kinda scary when your ISP emails you a list of all the movies you have on your hardrive.
needless to say.. I don't have the fserve up anymore.
