GASHWOUND Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 I still can't belive their f***in suing college kids and s***...Already struggling to pay for colege, now they got to play thousands and thousands of dollars to these f***s... :fyou The recording industry has launched a sweeping effort to identify and shut down individual song swappers, making good on recent threats to expand its legal battle against copyright theft. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has now issued more than 911 subpoenas to Internet service providers across the United States, trying to get the names of people still offering music on file-sharing networks such as KaZaA and Grokster. Today, "Tech Live" brings you the RIAA Hit List, the user names of file traders targeted in the recording industry subpoenas. Last month, we brought you the story of Jesse Jordan, a 19-year-old college student who became one of the first to be hit with a lawsuit by the RIAA. Jordan settled his case by paying $12,000 to the RIAA. The following user names were culled from subpoenas filed with the US District Court in Washington, DC. All subpoenas, incidentally, are being served by the Los Angeles law firm of Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp. A total of 253 RIAA subpoenas were listed as of July 22 through the federal court system's paid online database, PACER. The actual subpoenas are available to view online in about half the cases. The court documents don't show individual users' real names. They do show file-sharing network user names, the user's ISP, the user's IP address, and a sampling of copyright songs the user allegedly made available for download. To date, many ISPs have been contacted, including Pac Bell Internet, SBC, Charter Communications, Comcast, Adelphia, RCN, and Time Warner. Following is a list of the first user names from our review of the subpoenas.

LowerCaseRepublican Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 The RIAA fails to mention that independent bands whose music can also be found online too...their sales are INCREASING. They fail to mention that almost all the new CD's are like St. Anger in that they suck major balls. The RIAA doesn't want to make CD's affordable. After all, they were nailed for price fixing and then wanna go after kids who don't want to pay artificially high prices. :fyou The RIAA also doesn't want to focus on the fact that the music is less than quality and hence less CD's are being purchased. mp3 downloading is not a bane of the industry. If kids really like what they hear and like the band so much, they will support the band. I know I first heard a lot of bands because of mp3 and then purchased their CD's because I liked what I heard. And as Gash so aptly put before.... :fyou RIAA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 I was just glad that I wasn't on the list. Any idea how many downloads you need to get on that list? I don't want to get sued for 12,000 bucks that would freaking suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have to be file sharing a ton..thousands I say..to be subpoenaed They're actually suing for alot(a hell of alot more) more then 12 grand..That guy just stttled for 12 grand... But the guy Jesse Jordan was hit first cause of his site he runs... http://www.chewplastic.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just added more names to that first list I posted up there...BUT, if you or anyone wants to know if you are one of the..ones who have been Subpoenaed by the RIAA and DC District Court..check this site http://www.eff.org/IP/P2P/riaasubpoenas/ :fyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASHWOUND Posted July 29, 2003 Author Share Posted July 29, 2003 And another Q...I was watching a piece about Napster relaunching Napster 2.0 this Christmas(now you gotta pay) and was wondering what was or is the difference between what Napster was doing and what sites like Kazaa is doing? Why did Napster go down and Kazaa continues to thrive? I never went on napster during its peak, so am a bit lost... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Why did Napster go down and Kazaa continues to thrive? Napster is dead because the RIAA decided to go after them first. Then they killed Audiogalaxy ( the BEST p2p system I've used ) Now they've turned their guns on KaZaA. They just don't get it, that their sales are down becuase they pump s*** out of their hype factory, NOT becuase of file sharing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Napster and Kazza are essentially the same sight or pretty much identicals of each other..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Jesus, there are SO MANY more meaningful reasons for litigation in our country, yet now we are gonna have the RIAA and their zoot-suit lawyers take the $8,000 a year making college students to court and actually try to squeeze out money that they lost by having to pay out for price fixing. Sounds like Nimrod central to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 So Napster and Kazza are essentially the same sight or pretty much identicals of each other..? Same basic program, just slight differences. Napster was the blueprint for the p2p programs to follow, such as KaZaA, Limewire, Morpheus, etc. They all are basically the same. the RIAA have them all in their sights, I'm sure...
