Napster dead but Kazaa lives?

07-04-2002, 09:54 AM

How the hell is Kazaa still kicking? It's not really doing anything different than Napster. It's just a files sharing program. As a matter of fact, Kazaa auto installs software on your PC (which I removed) which uses your lan bandwidth. Not to mention you can get 1000's of dollars worth of software free.

By all means I don't want them to go down, it just seems strange that such software is legal.

Dunno, I got a call from my ISP today.
They said someone contacted them regarding some movie copyrights. It seems like my dear girlfriend had downloaded some disney movie, and had left it in the 'download' folder of Gnucleus. So my ISP said I was distrubuting the movie. I had a nice chat with them, it was unreal.

I wonder why someone bothers. Well, I'm in the clear... I could have been busted if I lived overseas, and had more movies.

How bizarre, no? I'm not bullshitting you either.

..and I'm off.

It's really bizarre. I never heard anyone getting called. It seems someone from overseas called my ISP regarding this. If I had like 25 movies on my ISP that I was actively uploading, it would be different. But someone just downloaded 'Atlantis' from me, and I get the call. My heart started to jump during that phonecall, just yesterday I red somewhere about a guy who did something similar in finland (in bigger scale though) and got fined to pay copyright holders 17,000?.

I don't give a SHIT about RIAA & the movie industry, they can go fuck themselves, mp3 & divx forever.

Theres much better P2P programs around then kazaa, I can think of 1 server thats bloody good with over 3000 people on one channel, but most of them are bots serving all the latest stuff going.

napster was a centralized service. kazaa/morpheus/etc/etc all use the gnutella protocol which is "non-centralized"

however, i still don't see why they can't shut down the bigger companies using the protocol.. when it comes down to it it's almost always usually one company (or more) that runs the show..

kazaa,limewire, etc are peer2peer programs and their servers do almost nothing. napster's servers did a lot of tracking names of songs and whatnot.

i think.

You know what's really funny, the RIAA is leading the charge to start suing people who distribute a lot of music files. I shit you not! The people you always see on the programs that have tons of cool music that you end up going through their library to download stuff might end up getting a subpoena! This was confirmed on tuesday.

The only thing holding it up is Time Warner. Since AOL/Time Warner has both record labels and net customers they would be suing the customers! So obviously they are a little torn by this push.

This is crazy. The music industry is in a tailspin.

Now that you know this, would you guys slow down on the downloads or download more?

I've trusted my sites to them for over a decade...

Webair, bitches.

It's just a matter of time before Kazaa or WinMX will probably go down too....but as soon as that happens another program will take their place. It's an endless cycle.
