I AM CURRENTLY WATCHING THE CNN NEWS ON CABLE, AND IT SAYS THAT STARTING TODAY, THE FBI WILL GO ON ALL THE MUSIC COMPANIES AND TRACK DOWN ALL THE FILE SWAPPERS STARTING WITH THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE MOST, IM SORRY TO SAY THIS IS COULD BE THE LAST TIME ALL OF US COULD EVER DL MUSIC AGAIN, UNLESS ANOTHER ONE COMES OUT. I HAVE ALRDY DELETED MY KAZAA BECAUSE MY BROTHER HAD TOLD ME TO..AND I SUGGEST EVERYONE TO DO THE SAME.

Because the record companies lose millions..

[SSJVegeta]

screw the record companies, they make way too much!

[Popa§murf69]

well i dont care im keepin my kazza

[mlj2k]

yep! me to!

but there will allways be a way of gettin it wont there!

[cHilli]

I should point out to all members that: Kazaa is illegal,

and the mods, security and admin, and all, do not support the use of illegal programs, but it you use them, its your problem.



I would also like to point out that they ruin your computer

[Anubis]

I saw that too theyr gonna sue people that use it. it sucks a ton!!!

they already ssued a few people and most were kids!
I downloaded my music from my friend but he deleted kazza too. i think you all better do the same or get sued for thousands.
darn music company!:swear:

[cHilli]

do u honestly expect them to sit back and lose millions?

[SSJVegeta]

there's nothing they can really do about it. Even if they shut down kazaa, people like hackers will always share music programs and other media. I don't have either of the programs installed, but I'm taking their side. the record companies make way too much!

[Nitrous]

I agree with you the record companies do make way too much money.

[SetoKaiba]

[Popa§murf69]

do they honestly think they can sue people. Think there gonna waste there time to trace every sdingle person that uses Kazaa and sue them lol. Thats a bunch of bull****. Tehe "FBI" would be wasting there money to do that.

@Seto so for every file they get sued 250 000 350 000? or just 350 or 3500. They'll never cath everyone

@Poppa Maybe millions :D

[SSJVegeta]

no crap, there are millions of users on winmx and kazaa.

[SetoKaiba]

they said that by the end of 8 to ten weeks, kazza and winmx will be shut down.

[Redgore]

Count yourselves lucky !!
If a certain US senator got his way you would be running scared as he wants to be able to DESTROY any data (not just offending material) that filesharers have.

[Half-White]

The FBI's gonna sue them for it? That is crap...

[Anubis]

yes it is crap but the problem here is they started sueing about a month ago in the US!!!! and they had a huge interview with one person from the music company and he said that he will keep sueing untill people stop downloading music and than they`ll shut kazza and winmix down!!!!!!

[Redgore]

All I can say is that the file sharing scene wont go away. They said that it would go once they closed down napster and that didnt happen.

Fact. Those programs have cracked written all over them. It makes it way easier for crackers to install ads into your computer.

@ SSJ: Hundreds of millions.

[Redgore]

They can only be dangerous if you dont take care with your downloads etc which 98% of users dont. overall you just have to be careful.

[SetoKaiba]

2 asian families, which i feel sad for, got sued for $12,000...

[Anubis]

gosh 12,000!

[Gimpy]

wow there gonan shut down Winmx and kazaa there;ll be twenty mroe to replace those. Are there even a hundred million in Canda US and Enlgland combined? lol

[Stryker82]

Off the top of my head:

KaZaA, Morpheus, Grokster, WinMX, Limewire, Bearshare, FileShare (Sumthin like that), eMule, eDonkey?...

Ok, shut them down if you wish, but they can't touch mIRC or it's users.

Heres a little thingy u can see sometimes on the servers

If you are affiliated with any government anti-piracy group or were formerly a worker of one you cannot enter this channel. You furthermore cannot access any of its file servers. If you enter the file servers you are not agreeing to these terms and you are violating ::code 431.322.12 of the Internet Privacy Act signed by Bill Clinton in 1995 - Please Leave Or You Will Be Violating These Terms.

So... How do the FBI know that u didn't borrow a CD fro ma friend and burn it to your comp? This is utter stupidity.

Everything he just said is FACT

Yes, even the last bit, Trust me, my comp is absolutly F.U.B.A.R because of KaZaA...

[Forsaken]

same Stryker

do u know that they can't really shutdown the fileshare servers, like Kazza and that because they aren't doing anything illegal they are the hub and the other users use it to connect and send to each other. the data isn't coming from kazza's server so technically they aren't filesharing the people are so u would have to shutdown every single user filesharing

[Stryker82]

Yup, that's where NApster went wrong, cuz they promoted the sharing of Songs an stuff, asically copyrighted stuff in general, so they got shut down. These P2P Progs now say Do Not Share copyrighted material, but everyone klnows thats all that happens pretty much...

And uh, the FBI only has Jurisdiction in the U.S.A, the ycant do a thing t oanyone outside the U.S... Am I right?

[Half-White]

Yes, you are right. So, anyone here with Kazaa or whatever and is outside the US, don't worry about this...

[Anubis]

now thas not fair at all!!! only the US!!!!!!!!!

i agree its a pile of p*sh if u ask

[Stryker82]

About right...although they do the international co-op thing . But **** 'em. There are 100's of thousands of folks on kaz. It'll take 'em years to track 'em doen. Even if they can...

The U.S. has it's connections with other countries. And, where in the world is Kazaa's hub located? You get rid of Kazaa, and there goes its users...

International co-op, huh? Hmmm, well you're write to say it's a waste of time...man, the US government is so stupid nowadays, doing so many pointless, wasteful things, what with war and all that...

[Popa§murf69]

Kazaa doesnt have a central server. What you have is multiple hubs created by the users when they use the client. That is at least How I personally understand the protocol.

[Forsaken]

yes and file sharing is person to person, a bit like i f I was to send u a file through MSN

which means kazza is 100% legit, as long as they tell u not to fileshare copyrighted material then they're not breaking any rules

[cHilli]

Yeop it is,

On a sidenote i just deleted Kazaa and Emule, and my computer
is running like lightning now:)

[Popa§murf69]

ya it would go faster without kazza but then u got no music :(

[Stryker82]

Ye sure it is cman.. Lol j/k

Yea, KaZaA Isn't illegal, jsut the sharing of copyrighted material is... and KaZaA doesnt promote that, so they can't touch KaZaA...

[Half-White]

Hey, that's a good point...but the government is way too stupid to listen to some1 who knows more about a situation..

[Popa§murf69]

ya but government will do anything to stop from losin money

[Forsaken]

I accidently cleaned Kazzasspyware component and my computer is running better than usual

[[N]eto]

How did you find that? Maybe that's one of the things causing me trouble.

ANYTHING for more money. You know why Bush is reluctant to help those poor African countries? It costs money!

[SetoKaiba]

man, i miss dling alrdy....but heres a fact

They are currently only going for the ppl with the most files...sum ppl hvae liek thousands, but if u have arouns 10-50, u can still use it before they catch u..

[Stryker82]

What if you have about 500 like me?

Actually that;d be cl0ser to 450... i have 38summi songs, and a bunch of software...
