Yeah, the page is a bit of a shocker at first glance, especially the bit saying your IP has been logged! Oh well, c'est la vie....

this-ip.com says my ip is: 64.201.48.6Yet my IP ends in .52 and my internal address is dynamic... oh no! how will the RIAA know to sue me? I'd better let them know!note: nothing special done - standard setup from ISP confuses IP loggers for some reason! hahaha

Uh yeah, it's called a transparent proxy. Nothing special at all.

I was still using the client (and I'm unafraid to admit-- you know you can still find legal stuff on there, duh) and saw all that uninstall crap, wondered, wtf? Thanks digg for the info! I thought I was going a little crazy.But yeah, plenty of alternate clients/networks/etc. Jeez...As for logging your IP.. Help de-fund the RIAA by encouraging EVERYONE to link and click on the page. Seriously, if you have a dynamic IP (as most do), do it every day for the rest of the year. Set up some scripts to wonk it, whatever. They can't sue everyone, can they? RIAA vs. America. It's like the episode of Mr. Show where the movie company sues America for not watching its crappy movie. Yay America!

This whole thing is just silly. Just because you use Edonkey doesn't mean you are doing something illegal. That is just crazy. Since when did sharing your freeware using P2P become illegal??Just because some criminals use cars for transport, doesn't mean we should forbid cars.What's next? Forbid the computer? RIAA is just anti-evolution... RIAA wants us to go back to the stone age.
