    Bogus songs on KAZAA made on purpose to discourage downloading!

    I suspected that, and after I watched a documentary on BBC I saw this was for real, companies placing bogus songs (repetitive beginnings for all the mp3 file, noise ...) to make music downloading unpleasant and discourage Kazaa and other peer to peer programs' users ... An American company from New York, called Overpeer, does that.

                      I have a friend who's doing a lengthy research paper for his masters degree on various polution techniques on the Kazaa network for copyrighted songs. Some really interesting stats he's getting from 1 week to official release of a new song to the week afterwards, seeing how much of a variation there is in corrupt files on the Kazaa networks.

                                                  Cash in on all the cd sales as a result of p2p.

                                                  Whether or not you would buy a cd after hearing a few tracks you downloaded is a different story. But lots of people do.

                                                  I can't stand to listen to the radio. So I download music instead. If I like what I hear enough (usually 3 or 4 tracks off an album) I'll go buy the album.

                                                  If I can't get a few tracks to listen to before buying an album I just won't buy it. People are sick of getting an album for one track and having the rest of them suck. And forget the radio... they can pay me to listen to the crap being pushed over the air waves these days.

                                                          If I were the music industry I would have set up legal versions of P2P sharing networks and charged a small monthly fee.

                                                          I would then allow limited mp3 downloads from my network servers but unlimited downloads of approved mp3s on the network between sharing users.

                                                          This would have nipped the whole shared mp3 issue in the butt, right from the beginning. Sure of course there would have been illegal P2P networks but they could have picked up a major part of that internet traffic, if they would have done it from the beginning instead of fighting the technology.

                                                          If they would have built up a solid network like this at the start, it would have allowed the music industry to test new bands on the public with out putting out the kind of cash they do now. They could have had instance response from the public on new bands and so on. This could have been a win win situation for the record companies and new bands, but instead they couldn't see past their greed.
                                                          In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.

                                                              Well this news is about 2 years old I believe, at least that when they first started doing it. Anyways, it's a good move, but hopefully they have more good moves. I'm not holy in general but I believe that p2p programs in general and late especially bittorrent are killing all kinds of entertainment industries, among these adult.

                                                              I've heard some adult webmasters argue that they use p2p to their advantage and you just gotta know how to use it... This argument is weak because it's only valid because they can't beat it. In reality it would be better for all parties if it wasn't around. Afterall, we all know porn surfers are the most honest people in the world don't we?

                                                              Let's have more ways of tracking down the people who put out copyright protected material on the internet and let's have higher penalties for the ones who redistribute it with a p2p program. P2p thinks it's invincible right now and that it can never be shut down, perhaps not, but their networks can be flooded with fake shit and with better punishment for users distributing it can become very unattractive to use.

                                                              dunno why I keep typing better stop

The thing about file sharing networks like Kazaa is that they naturally weed out the bogus songs because people who download the bad files remove them and therefore stop sharing it to others in the network.
                                                                                                  That's not entirely accurate.

                                                                                                          Companies like Overpeer have hundreds if not thousands of servers loaded with bogus files. Last I heard, they upload over 20 billion bogus files to users every month.
                                                                                                          Something like that wouldnt suprise me, they have really fast servers and get a tonne of searches. Bogus file results can sometimes come back in the thousands... good old usenet.

Friend who works at a datacenter has a client who I shall not mention that owns a couple hundred rack servers that all they do 24/7 is flood the p2p networks with shit files. They just even replaced all their machines with brand new ones.
