Svensta	Date: July 24, 2003 @ 8:53 AM http://www.techtv.com/news/culture/story/0,24195,3484600,00.html" id="55466">As reported by Tech TV, here is the unofficial list of usernames cited in the latest series of lawsuits by the RIAA Looks like just KaZaa and Grokster http://www.techtv.com/news/culture/story/0,24195,3484600,00.html
Expose	Date: July 24, 2003 @ 5:56 PM Figures, they are using the MAIN scanners to make these hitlists. Even the horribly incomplete and inaccurate PeerGuardian IP blocklist includes them. Share on crappy P2Ps uneducated, expect some .
Veracohr	Date: July 24, 2003 @ 7:59 PM Perhaps I should get KaZaa, spread my own songs around a bit, and see if they nip at my heels for "sharing music files". Then I can sue the fuck out of them! Or probably not, most likely.
mtbatol	Date: July 24, 2003 @ 10:40 PM Heh, go for it, I would love to hear a case about getting sued for sharing your own material
Etheracide	Date: July 24, 2003 @ 10:41 PM Alright...I am not on the list haha They'd have to be REALLY, REALLY good to catch me on any P2Ps with as often as I'm on them. I rarely have the time to mess with them anymore with the webwork I have going on when I am AT work.
sinai	Date: July 25, 2003 @ 1:21 AM i hope they do sue me... god please let them sue me... you can't buy publicity like that
Tudris	Date: July 25, 2003 @ 2:51 AM Hurray, the battle of the industry versus the customers that make the industry thrive. The day that companies can badger their own customers and still expect them to be customers is the day of Apocalypse.
typeone	Date: July 25, 2003 @ 10:11 AM I wonder how many users "www.k_lite.tk_Kazaa_Lite@Kazaa" covers.
TripEclipse	Date: July 25, 2003 @ 12:47 PM I wonder how much damage this is going to cause them. More than I think they know.
Karmatic	Date: July 25, 2003 @ 7:27 PM That was a generally BAD move on their part. They just relieved a little of the intimidation that they were sending by saying "We have a list of potential subpoenas" and hwatnot. If they go public with names, then they are pretty much telling you that you aren't on the top-end of the "hitlist" and makes us feel safer towards P2P. And look at that, I'm not on the list.
Karmatic	Date: July 25, 2003 @ 7:29 PM I think I've downloaded stuff from "www.k_lite.tk_Kazaa_Lite@Kazaa". But I don't think that Kazaa themselves care too much since they're apparently KazaaLite users.
1pancake1rep...	Date: July 28, 2003 @ 12:12 PM about 10 million" id="56231"> "I wonder how many users "www.k_lite.tk_Kazaa_Lite@Kazaa" covers" about 10 million
Svensta	Date: July 28, 2003 @ 2:03 PM Yes, that's a good point. Having to resolve that to a particular login will be dicey. I wonder though.... if you started a p2p with EVERYONE using some default login like that.... I know they will have your IP address, but can they PROVE you did anything wrong, seeing as how they might have troubling proving YOU were that particular default instance? Might make their case a little more unsound.
pog	Date: July 28, 2003 @ 7:38 PM What everyone needs to do is log in with the names on the list... what can they do with 36 variants of bluemonkey13@Kazaa especially if the original bluemonkey13 changed to Boilermaker1214 ??
SinisterX	Date: July 29, 2003 @ 2:58 AM Why do you guys use a P2P proggy that you have to have a user name with?? Stick with Gnutella. At least, you dont have to log into it with a nick. *shrug.
Svensta	Date: July 29, 2003 @ 8:15 AM Sinister, it's simply about bandwidth, and GNU doesn't match up. I have broadband. I am not waiting a day for an album.
blooddshedd	Date: July 29, 2003 @ 9:11 AM When i log in or whatever I choose a random name and never remember it. So yeah
Karmatic	Date: July 29, 2003 @ 9:48 PM They'd have to be pretty skilled to grab my actual IP off KaZaA. Besides a scrambled IP, I'm only logged into KaZaA for about 10 minutes a week, if that much, and it's generally around 4AM.
DaVillRecords	Date: July 30, 2003 @ 12:36 AM lol, im a comcast cable customer, so i just stopped sharing files until i can find a program 2 block my IP, since i use the default username anyways.
februarymemo...	Date: July 30, 2003 @ 1:00 AM screw the music industry. yes... we need to get everyone everywhere to use the same login lol
Expose	Date: July 30, 2003 @ 1:01 AM Says a user of eMule. :lol: At least the quality sure as hell beats gnutella. :D" id="56528">Gnutella, sucks. Worst network over, counting overnet. "I am not waiting a day for an album." Says a user of eMule. At least the quality sure as hell beats gnutella.
SinisterX	Date: August 2, 2003 @ 1:23 AM Gnutella sucks now because users are not sharing. They are freeloading. Which is a shame. Hmm, arent most of the apps now even eMule connecting to the Gnutella network in one form or another?
SinisterX	Date: August 2, 2003 @ 1:24 AM and, since KaZaa and Grokster are on the RIAA hitlist wouldn't it be safer to use a P2P that you don't need a user name and pw for????
SinisterX	Date: August 2, 2003 @ 1:27 AM That was the only full length album I dled off Gnutella and uninstalled it after that. Im on my laptop and dont have the gigs to store music. " id="57010">Svensta: I've never waited for an entire day ro dl an album of Gnutella. I downloaded Pink Floyd's entire "Wall" album, part 1 and part 2 all in the same night and I too am a broadband user. That was the only full length album I dled off Gnutella and uninstalled it after that. Im on my laptop and dont have the gigs to store music.
francechic	Date: September 7, 2003 @ 6:16 PM hehe, i dont use kazaa, i use limewire.
