Well if they find you sharing you can get sued, and many people supposedly have been sued already. Therefore no one is sharing any files. Hence the demise of Kazaa.

 

aghh that sucks big time

 

You can try using the Direct Connect network. There's plenty of action going on there.

BitTorrent looks like a good alternative too, but I haven't found many good sites that have BitTorrent links yet. http://www.suprnova.org seems to be the best but it has been down lately.

Of course if all else fails you can always go onto good old IRC...

 

Ok im gonna give the first one a shot. I hope it works! I miss my kazaa!!!

 

kazaa lite still works fine for me...
??

 

You know, I'm wondering if the RIAA somehow crosses a line in determining the IP addresses of people downloading music.

It's been a while since I've used any of these programs (and perhaps I'm just ignorant) but is it even possible to read IP addresses directly from there? If not, how exactly is the RIAA getting the IP address of these people? Anyone know?

 

Kazaa Lite 731+ million files available for download.

Doesn't look like anyone is really scared

 

You can use IRC. None of the anti-piracy campaigns really target IRC, it's too old school and therefore sort of flies under the radar.

 

Downloading files is reported to the RIAA (headed by Jack Velente) By Microsoft. the win XP o/s is total spyware. But, the geenie is out of the bottle. file sharing can't be stoped. I saw the same crap when VCR's first came on the set. But the so-called lawsuits are to intimidate mostly parents & universities. your basic Police state scare tactic. It won't float. By the way, I'm a musician and the only people ripping us off are the record companies. Sorry to be so long winded, this is my mission.

 

well shareaza is working fine for me. i never actually share anything though. i'm a leach.
