Since they use software that scans the public directories available to any user of a peer-to-peer network. These directories, which allow users to find the material they are looking for, list all the files that other users of the network are currently offering to distribute. When the software finds a user who is offering to distribute copyrighted music files, it downloads some of the infringing files. Along with the date and time it accessed the files.
So in essence, after you dl whatever you want, move it out of your shared folder, and rename it, and move it to another folder. Easy, safe, and good way to stop their onslaught. |

People that download but don't share are almost as bad as the RIAA themselves. Instead of fighting for something, you send the message that it's ok unless it happens to you. |

The flaw in their arguement is so obvious I wont even point it out. They are either a total moron, or deliberately trying to annoy us, or ineptly trying to sabotage the networks. Those options are not mutually exclusive. |

I used directconnect but it was too slow even with high speed cable. But the problem was you had to be on at the same time as the other person hence directconnect. It's based over in europe i believe so i was safe. |

the problem with this approach is obvious: with nobody populating shared folders there would be nothing to download.
I say dig in and sweat it out. The combined public is about the only entity which may be able to sit out a storm longer than a large corporate body. |

the only way to stop the riaa is for someone to be able to devolope a totally anonymous p2p network. no ip address's, no lawsuits. |

Even then, they would put up quite a fight - probably try to force ISPs to block it, or attempt to legislate against the technology.
Actually, directconnect isn't entirely safe. There are a few copyright holders running a harassment program against hub operators. I dont know of any plain users being attacked, but there have been several incidents of raids being made on hub operators. These seem to be a scare tactic mostly - as there are comparatively few hub operators, the network can be harmed greatly by scaring them off. |

Actually I like my idea better, keep as long distance between you and the RIAA(and simular organizations) as possible, don't listen to thier music, don't buy thier plastic discs that may do anything from "play" to "wreck your hardware", don't download thier songs. Last time I checked it is not illegal to choose better products, if not I can expect to pay a hefty fine to Intel for buying an AMD chip that I really really do like. |

How about a active IP address, ever few seconds your system changes its IP, Riaa could never get a fix on 1 IP? |

If your ISP keeps a log, yes they can. Remember the name of this site? If you download copyrighted material, you are always taking a risk. |

A 1 second log would be less then one word per cycle, do not think they would take that to court. In order to really pin someone down they would have to tie 10 of thousands of Ip addresses to one song , one computer, now apply that to 50 million or so computers. |

This thought is not just aimed at the riaa, this would be great security aide when going to any web sight, privacy when on the enternet is just about zero now. If you can surf and not be seen, thats close to perfect. |

You cant change IPs that often. Each time you do, all connections are lost.
I suppose with a lot of work, and some custom modules programmed for a NAT router, it could be done... but it would need ISP support. If they wanted users to be anonymous, they could just not log IPs.
Not logging is not an option. Asside from making them potentially liable for the actions of users by shielding them from the law, the anti-terrorist people in government would be very unhappy. |

I run an ISP where the MAC's are unmapped. I can change my mac at anytime. It is a ethernet router! I run Linux, so even WITHOUT a router, it is possible. |

Boycott everything the RIAA is selling, Flood the internet with everything that is non RIAA connected, have a program that would scrub out uploaded RIAA copyrighted material, ask of the artists to not sign away their works to RIAA companys and support directly to the artists. It is us, the people that listen, hear and feel an artists creations that needs to be in controll. We need to join together and put an end to this nonsense. But let us join together and do it the right way! We are together, are much larger that these companys. |

How about a counter-threat? Offer to return the favor. If they sue, inform them that unless they drop the lawsuits, they will be sued for violating your constitutional rights. Because, if i am not mistaken, and i hope i am not, what is on your computer is private, and they need a warrant to see what's there. By using their scanning software to see what's on someones, they are in effect hacking, and last time i checked, that was illegal as hell. |

Everone go to http://www.riaa.com/
Go to "Report Piracy"
Help me tell the RIAA excactly how we feel about them by flooding their server with our message!
They actually follow up on that part of their site, so lets tell them what we think of them on their own site! |
