What announcement??

I like SOAD!!! Great tunes and I also like the mid-eastern influences.

You got a link to the story?

That's bull**** man, being able to get into your computer to check for songs. What about people who also use their computer for their business, checking, stuff like that. All that personal info is now on the market. Bullsh*t.

that sucks really bad . This makes me want to get and go into the middle of the street and start a protest . They can really come up into your house and search your computer. How are they going to do that when just about everybody does it . ?

What about just turning off your file sharing, then no one can download files off of you?

eh?

Turning off file sharing still won't keep you from being targeted, since they go into your computer from certain ports. Personally, they can take you to court and sue the hell out of you, but the court can't MAKE you pay them, legally. They can say you owe them such and such an amount, but they (the court) cannot legally go after you if you default. The record company is going to have to hire a collection agency to hound you. That's when you get caller ID and never answer anything that doesn't show a name and number.
Also if someone broke into my computer from the net, who's to say they didn't set off a virus that destroyed my computer ( I happen to have one on disk just for this purpose). I just might have to sue.... I figure if a lady can sure for coffee being hot, I should be able to figure out a way to sue for damages. Just another frivilous lawsuit waiting to happen...
So. If you throw a cat out of a car window, is it considered "kitty litter"?

Yes, they do go in from different ports. Most FTP'ing takes place on 21. But, how can they target you if you're not sharing any files? They are searching for copyrighted songs. So if they search, and you aren't sharing, then how will they know you have that file? They won't ever see your username because of the fact it doesn't come up when they do a search. Now if you have been downloading like crazy and they are keeping logs of certain file transactions, then they could get you that way, but from the articles that I have read they are just doing routine searches and targeting large sharers.

I agree with you about this lawsuit thing waiting to happen, but you should know that when you're hardrive writes a file, it is there forever. Even if you "delete" your file, or format your harddrive, the file is still written. This is how they catch most internet kiddie porn freaks who try deleting files and formatting, doesn't work.
