    Excellently written article Drake.

    Fear is a great way to control people, and that's exactly what the MPAA is about. "Control" comes before anything else on this type of industries agendas. Without it, they're nothing.



    Hi everyone, I am new here and getting nervous.
    Is something going on with Kazaa that I should know about?

    If your nervous don't share... if you still want to share, wise up and get your ports blocked and upload only one or two files at a time.

    Honestly the more noobs that join onto broadband the more the hysteria rises.

    You probably have about a one in fifty thousand chance of being sued if your sharing Britney on Kazaa, reduce the persentages and adopt a less visible file trading app, or better still pay for a cheap private FTP slot and and get 0 sec warez ever day, just like me

    Thank you for replying to my post. I've spent/wasted the entire day reading here and on Slyck. This is the first I've heard of this MPAA crud and yes it does scare me.
    What exactly can I do to protect myself?
    How do I block my ports?
    A cheap private FTP slot?
    My apologies but I am not very computer literate.
    Should I lay off awhile or uninstall Kazaa Lite and try something else?
    Will installing Protowall help?
    I have the firewall that came with the Windows service pack and adaware and of course an antivirus.
    And WHAT is the big deal about downloading tv shows anyway - it's free for anyone who wants to turn on their tv!

    Everyone here at the forum will try to help u out, just like we advise each other on perticular ideas and so forth. I believe we are one when fighting goliath(AA's). Yeah, defintely get protowall or peer guardian, both are excellent programs. Get Blacklist mgr to go with PW or PG. Have a firewall up as well, lots good one for free. Sygate, zonealarm etc. And even go as far as getting a FTP , i'm looking into that myself. Dont use Kazza, its the worse. In my opinion. Theres many out there, I only use sharezza , low resoures and finds hard to get files. Speeds are good when the lines are'nt bottlenecked.....lol. Heop this is of help. I'm sure y will get more ideas from everyone else.

    Nice article Drake.

    I think that we need to post the news, even the bad news. The difference in P2P sites like Slyck, P2PForums, ZP, P2PC, P2PNews, etc, etc, is that we give folks the WHOLE story, very unlike the big national media outlets. All they print is the sensational, damning stuff. Who are they owned by afterall? The same folks who are behind these fascist attacks against 12 year old girls, Mac using grandmothers, and corpses.


    Keep on keeping on.

    Thank you skopas for helping me out, I appreciate it.
    Will do as you recommended tommorrow.
    Protowall, blacklist manager, zone alarm and get rid of Kazaa Lite.
    Anything else guys?

    Stop using Kazaa -- that's so 2003. Get with the groove; head over to http://www.bittornado.com and download the 3.7 stable version. But definitely stay away from regular p2p stuff (kaz, winmx, limewire). Using Kazaa, or K-Lite, or anything of the sort these days is like trying to suck cheese through a straw - you need a fat pipe. You need BitTorrent.

    If you're interested in BitTorrent I highly reccomend the Azureus client which can be found at http://azureus.sourceforge.net/ it includes useful features and is easy to use . And like other have mentioned getting off Kazaa, that goes from pretty much any well-known network is going to be a risk of some sorts. And being as you can get a lot of full-album music off BitTorrent (from my experience) then you don't need networks like FastTrack.

    Its ashamed that we can’t boycott the Media for 1 month, im talking everybody all 250some-odd million and just say, stop fucking with the little guy, leave us alone or we will bring down prices to what they should be. Unfortunately the only reason why the prices are so high is a simple rule that we all learn in economics "What the market will bear" if all these retarded people are spending 25$ a CD they will keep charging it, so its simple say im not going to pay an outrageous amount of money for shit. As it is the actually bands really don’t get dick of record sales.

    The letters are BS.....I got one from Universal that said that my ISP would shut off my cable within 24 hours if I didn't respond with a full written letter (with my name, address and contact info) to the MPAA attesting that I had complied with their requirements.

    DO NOT REPLY WITH ANY CONTACT INFO!!!

    The MPAA doesn't have any access to your personal information, they just sent the ISP (cox for me) an IP and said that this person is downloading our copyrighted material. Your ISP then sends you a letter telling you to stop or they'll cut you off, because the MPAA required them to. If you send them your contact info you are offering information which they will then hand over to the MPAA.

    I just responded with:

    "After a complete search, there are no such named files on my computer"

    They responded back with:

    "Thank you. We suggest you run an anti-virus scan."

    That was last year, and I haven't heard anything since.
