torrentfreak.com — The ?Big Four? record labels - EMI, Sony, Universal and Warner have started legal proceedings to force an ISP to end piracy on its network. The action, brought against Irish ISP, Eircom, is the first of it?s kind.

They are fighting a battle they can't win. Foolish foolish simpletons. They need to provide a service better than than the legally dogged pirate provider. They need to start leveraging the networks. Torrents are ideal with a slightly modified server/client.Torrent trackers are a point of control. A good balance could be reached quite simply. Provide non-DRM'd titles with fixed length unique encrypted 'owner' tag. Display the tag in players (name and shame). Seed the networks with "Stolen from:" tags. These will have the most sources quite soon, and be the chosen torrent.Allow those who will risk it to obtain free music (as they do now). BUT use the tracker to give upload credits for feeding the network. Allow both the purchasers and the 50?:1 seeders to be granted ownership. Download speeds would be amazing, illegal songs would be identifiable (to nab commercial offenders, as it will never be feasible to persecute the masses), distribution costs would all but cease, and those carrying the network will get paid as such.[OEM public key][Encrypted Owner Tag][Raw distributable content] - Maybe MP3 tags could be used?They need to start considering such half-way points for they are simply pissing in the wind as it now stands.

They already slow P2P in Australia on wireless Internet. It's disgraceful and it should be illegal. They advertise such and such amount of internet for X dollars a month (which ALREADY has a download limit, like 2 gigs - I'm not kidding), and then in tiny tiny little letters you see somewhere that bittorrent and such go at 28k - half of dial up speed. Hopefully these bastards will be forced to let all information through. I hope these guys don't win - there are heaps of legitimate uses for P2P software:Downloading freeware (e.g. Linux distros)Downloading trailersDownloading demosDownloading patches and 'service packs'Downloading educational material

How many people did they bust for making mix tapes, especially those recorded from radio?

Well, someone will find a way to remove the tags, adding OEM key will only make it take longer, remember the DVDJon and DeCSS, and HDDVD key revolt on Digg? Since torrent protocol is open, someone will make a torrent client that will read the tags anyways. There is no way to control this situation. Why not let people own they music for which they pay, without digital watermarks and fingerprints, tags, free from a specific format? Were you a customer of AllOfMp3? It was a great site, you could buy music without the fear of being traced, in various formats, for an affordable price. The problem is that the RIAA said it was not getting the money from the sales, and neither were the artists. So instead of trying to solve the problem by talking and passing the money around they put pressure on Russia to shut the site down, they were giving to much freedom to the customer.It's a matter of freedom, surveillance, restriction AND price. Remember QTrax? Well, they monitor your music habits with their software.

I don't think these retards have a case against eircom. My only fear is our glorious court system might produce another howler of a decision as they seem to be doing frequently of late<a class="user" href="http://vb.paramegsoft.com/11/">http://vb.paramegsoft.com/11/</a><a class="user" href="http://vb.paramegsoft.com/59/">http://vb.paramegsoft.com/59/</a><a class="user" href="http://game.paramegsoft.com/">http://game.paramegsoft.com/</a><a class="user" href="http://download.paramegsoft.com/">http://download.paramegsoft.com/</a>

Maybe the "BIG FOUR" should think about putting the same amount of effort into tracking down perverts on-line as they do lining musician's pockets with cash - you notice how sicko's are allow to share their child porn in pedo gangs accross networks and ISP's -yet "the law" (big money giants) are more interested in going after teenagers that share music... very sad world.Track PERV'S not P2P music !!!Track PERV'S not P2P music !!!Track PERV'S not P2P music !!!Track PERV'S not P2P music !!!Track PERV'S not P2P music !!!Track PERV'S not P2P music !!!
