    What are you going to do If the RIAA shuts down another program!?

    The RIAA keeps wanting to shut down programs like Kazaa. If they do that what would you do. I think we should go find RIAA HQ and get signs and boycott them. Instead of sitting around here saying RIAA sucks. Why don't we do something about it. Not Secretly hack there web site either. Lets write to them everyday until we get an answer. I really mean this to. We should all write them Letters in the mail once a week until they respond with an answer. I want to know there reasons. I know there reasons but I want them to tell them to me.

    Thumbs up Well Said

    :devil Agreed notbob though programs come and go the revolution continues. File Sharing can't be stopped by shutting down these programs. People will just migrate to the next big thing. Look what happened after Napster, Audiogalaxy, et. all. The concept is always going to be there even if the means to do it changes.

    I'd just code some more peer-2-peer programs (what I'm working on now is a direct result of the RIAA taking AudioGalaxy down)... ;)

    Red face Yep...

    I agree - just keep sharing. Maybe if we ignore the RIAA long enough, they'll stop making money, and just dry up and blow away!

    Wishful thinking...

    They asked same question before napster went down and we saw what happened. It was not the end of the world and there were other programs migrate to and continue sharing.

    Since its inception almost 30 years ago, the internet has been transformed from a primitive device for sharing thoughts and ideas, into a massive network where people pay to connect and read advertisements they don't want, while calling each other "asshats".

    I think saw a thread on here that says they (the bridge) are not online yet or something like that. So is RIAA now into pre-emptive strikes (kinda popular these days, lol) now?

    people will find new ways to share, not matter what the toll booth captains say or do...

    thier is always ftp, mirc, messenger services allow file sharing etc.

    get a list of friends and keep sharing.

    Peace!

    The best way to fight the RIAA is DON'T BUY THEIR CDs!! (And, of course, keep sharing).

    We all know the only thing they understand is money---So vote with your pocketbook eh.

    Listen, the RIAA bast**ds have f**ked over the artists, the consumers, and even the music stores. It's time they went the way of the dinosaur.

    I know this is unusually hot-headed posting for me. But I just watched an old Hitler movie, and guess who I was reminded of?

    as much as I would like KazaA to shutdown, they wont. Why you ask why I wish they'd shut down cause I hate the dumbass program, lol I think it's the suckiest program out there will all the fake files going around on it, and all the looped songs, and all the songs that are cut off. but they will not shutdown because kazaa is in Australia now, and the USA cannot tell other companies in other countries what to do. That is what th court is arguing here. and if all the p2p programs got shutdown, what I would do is what i do now. use the mp3 web sites that share full albums and full mp3 cd quality songs before the stuff is even released to the public. I have about 7 mp3 sites saved in my favorites, and everytime I want a song I just search the site, download the file and I know it's complete and full cd quality :-)

    If the RIAA shuts down another program, then i will wait for another program to pop up, it won't be that long

    Well, if we dont buy any cd's then their would not be much to share. so i think buy cd's, but do so sparingly(i guess thats the word) so just buy maybe 1 every 2 months or somethin.
