RIAA In Full "War" Mode

Browsing around a few forums today, I've noticed a common thread: people complaining about downloads of Celine Dion's new album, "One Heart," which was officially released today. Doing some digging, it seems that the RIAA has finally upped the ante, and is now starting to completely flood the P2P networks with bad files(so called interdiction acts) to prevent piracy. I've seen a few people throw around not so unreasonable nimbers, as to the point where 95% of the "songs" from this CD on the US Kazaa network are really interdictions. However, due to Kazaa's grouping method(for multi-source downloads), the RIAA's latest plan is in part failing: interdiction files are showing up as different sizes, but still being grouped together(whereas a "real" file should have the same size for every host).

At this point, I think it's safe to assume that the RIAA is playing for the jackpot. It's a new war ahead, and the RIAA intends to win it all... too bad they don't stand a chance.😉

Thats what it is really all about. The RIAA isn't trying to fight piracy in general, just people who try to get Celine Dion. I mean what kind of sick fvck would try to do that?

No.. they're downloading her mp3s to burn to cd or print out on paper to burn in protest... They just want to be able to protest the stupid b!tch without making her richer.
 
Uh, RIAA is not doing their job if they're doing it that way. The Last person I'd want to download songs from is Celine Dion. If she lost her voice tomorrow, the world would be a much better place. I can deal with people and their headache generating rock music or their window busting rap. But she's just too much for any person to stand without going insane! 😕
 
It was/is the same thing for the new Linkin Park. Literally 95% have been fakes, you just gotta first of all eliminate anything that isn't 192Kbps, and then you look at the file name to see if the groups name is tacked on it. It's simple for anyone with a little know how but kazaa is polluted with fakes right now. Doesn't bother me
 
That's why I stick to newsgroups and eDonkey/eMule. Both are essentially self-policing with regard to bad files.

Hush! Don't you know Usenet is ancient technology and not worthy of anyones time and energy. 😉 Let the masses including the RIAA continue to think the enemy is P2P.

It's called penance.

"For your sins, you will download and listen to 5 Celine Dion songs".
