Re: FAO music pirates

I use [url=http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/]Thunderbird[/url] for my news feeds. it's a perfect one-stop shop for all email, calendar, and rss/newsgroups. the only downside is the memory leak :what

what newsfeeds does everyone subscribe to? where are some good minimal/techno/electro feeds?

Re: FAO music pirates

do you mean rss feeds? i think they are referencing usenet newsgroups...

Re: FAO music pirates

SyntaxTerror is correct. Usenet is the way to go. So off the radar. go binaries.mp3!

Thanks guys, will check out Pan and Grabit and look for some servers. Might give Easynews a try.

Re: FAO music pirates

Yes it does. Under account setup, you can add a new email or newsgroup account. Something I overlooked as well but I didn't bother with newsgroups when I was still using TB.

AND it supports RSS of course.

Re: FAO music pirates

not sure yet, i guess his lawyer told him he may have some way out of it. I think he used limewire for the downloads, don't know who the ISP was...

Re: FAO music pirates

he signed an agreement: he'll pay $5000 total, in $413 installments each month

Re: FAO music pirates

damn that's expensive ... although probably not the worst case scenario !

Re: FAO music pirates

can they really prove he downloaded the files?

what about if you have a wireless router with no encryption, or poor encryption such as WEP and someone uses your bandwidth (and ip) to download songs?

that's completely possible, and you shouldn't be guilty since you haven't downloaded the tracks.

digital rights and crime provide a huge gray area imho

Re: FAO music pirates

Re: FAO music pirates

$220k is a bit crazy...but the $5k, well... If you're stealing and you get caught, that's how it works.
