Why the RIAA executives are retarded

[Triple_T]

1) They think that they can scare us by sending threatening E-mails and such, when most of us dont even enter our real E-mail accounts into the sign up screen for P2P networks, and my ISP provided E-mail i had disabled, so how will the get to me. Also they are telling us it is only scare tactics, if soemoen was to point a gun at you, you would be scared, what if you were told it was fake?

2)They threaten us by telling us they will delete our computers, when in fact I have firewalls and i really don't think it is possible to pass throught all of that protection, so another plan scratched.

3)They have never thought of LOWERING CD PRICES. Hey that would be the easiest thing to do, hell if a CD cost like 5 bucks at most i might consider buying it, not that 15-20 dollar shit when all you really want to hear is a couple of good songs on it, when the rest is shit.

4)All talk but no show, they can talk the talk but can't walk the walk. They haven't done anything and have been threatening us for what? Months?

1) They don't get your email from the P2P software. Your court order will be issued through the mail, or hand delivered.

2) No-one can delete a computer. A firewall won't protect you.

3) You wouldnt buy a CD at $5. Why? Because you can get it for FREE.

4) It's called the legal system. Things don't resolve themselves overnight

Allis, abviously you dont know what you are talking about, because firewalls will protect you, it will block unwanted IP addresses and will stop any sort of attack on your computer OF ANY KIND!!!!!! so instead of just talking shut the fuck up and know the facts. Also how will the RIAA know who i am when they cant find any information on my throught my ISP or anything? my ISP has a strict privacy act, the guy i work with owns my ISP he refuses to give up any information of the sort. You are a real idiot

OK, ignoring your bad English, bad grammar, and your childish and offensive remarks, I will reply to your post.

How does your firewall know what an 'unwanted' IP is?

Firewalls aren't impenetrable, do some research, or ask your "ISP owner" work colleague.

All ISPs claim to be big on user privacy, but the reality is different. And the legal system might have something to say. Haven't you been keeping up with what's happening?

You probably don't understand your ISPs privacy act.

I won't call you an idiot, or say you don't know what you're talking about because anyone reading your posts can make up their own mind.

um. actually they're right and you're wrong. on all accounts. i wasn't going to bother mentioning it but you just totally exploded for no good reason. they can get your account information from your isp, or your isp is obstructing justice, which will land THEM with a felony charge. you're not that important to them. and you don't seem to understand the concept of a firewall. you can let it what you expect to be let in, you let out what you expect to be let out. the riaa isn't going to be fucking portscanning, they're going through peer to peer programs. and peerguardian isn't the catchall defense people seem to think it is. it blocks known ips. how many billions do you suppose there are that are unknown.

it's fine to be optimistic, and despite your individual arguments being grossly inaccurate your point is correct, which i gather is that this is more or less going to blow over for those exercising some amount of caution.

still, no reason to call people ignorant when they're just trying to inform you.

um, no your misinformed. before calling some one an idiot you should do some research. obviously you dont know shit about networks or firewalls.
so next time you run you mouth you should back it up.

also, i would argue against that. filesharing has affected my purchasing habits. i buy a bit more, i don't buy cds (because i realized how insanely inflated they are), and i buy from a much wider spectrum of artists.

and in general i don't feel ripped off anymore, because i know what to expect from an artist before i buy some of their music. filesharing WILL destroy the riaa, but not for the reasons they think. the more music people listen the more they know what they like, and as they come to develop personal taste they realize what utter crap the riaa artists are pushing.

Now I know a lot about computers, and wouldn't the RIAA have to get into the database, or do they plan to add things to songs to find out who downloads what. I always thought hacking was illegal and if they go into the database that is illegal without permission. So we could sue them.

Read the many news stories about security on the front page of this site.

I dont think that guy will be coming back any time soon.

Can't say he didnt bring it upon himself though.

Allis,

I am not convined that you really know nothing about computers at all. First of all, the ISP is a small local ISP that supports broadband and probably has maybe 75 users at most. Secondly, incase you haven't noticed almost all firewalls and internet security programs block unwanted ISP's by indentifying them with another internal program and then blocking it. Norton Internet Security Corporate Edition does this the best. So insted of opening your mouth and sounding stupid, know the facts.

Triple_T try the following link. ISP's have to reveal the identities of users.

It doesnt matter what size your ISP is. It sounds like a vISP to me.

You've made a fool of yourself oncer already, please dont start doing it again. Check the news on the front page.

Tell me how "internet security programs block unwanted ISP's by indentifying them with another internal program". Cos I don't really understand that, and you obviously have full knowledge.

HOW DOES IT KNOW WHAT EVERY "UNWANTED" IP IS?

I'll give you 2 days to go ask your ISP friend. Get back to us with your (his) answers.
