- TheBarge, on 10/12/2007, -4/+48Ouch, I should smack you, I clicked that link and now MY IP is logged. Who cares, visiting a website isn't illegal.
- thesauce, on 10/12/2007, -3/+42oh noes, your ip is logged!
:*( we r rly screwed!!!111one - bodger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+34Cool, can never have enough 'what is my ip address' services.
- Joe_rigby, on 10/12/2007, -0/+32RIAA: "This will stop the distribution of our songs. Our distribution model isn't dying. It isn't. *sucks thumb*"
- xose, on 10/12/2007, -10/+40Scary or not, I just added it together with http://www.grokster.com to find out my current IP, knowing that MPAA and friends have LOGGED (all in caps, of course) my IP each time.
- XxXoldsaltXxX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+28@randybaton
I bet my pirated music collection that they didnt do anything other than display the ip.
Just a scare tactic to try and ward off the "OMG HOW DID U GET MY IP ADDRESS?!?!?" people. - Dipsomaniac, on 10/12/2007, -1/+29@Nougat:
Of course, if you live in Canada, it's not against the law. Har de har har (sorry). - _Caboose_, on 10/12/2007, -2/+29Apparently visiting a website is treason according to the AA's.
- nxxm, on 10/12/2007, -1/+24how lame is that.... better use open source software that evil governments companies and other entities cant rob you of your freedom and rights.
this planet is pretty much ***** up these days since the content-nazis took over. - randybaton, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21Anyone else getting the google ads message at the top offering e-donkey 2007 . nice .
- Nougat, on 10/12/2007, -4/+24@ 4:24 PM CDT:
The eDonkey2000 Network is no longer available.
If you steal music or movies, you are breaking the law.
Courts around the world -- including the United States Supreme Court --
have ruled that businesses and individuals can be prosecuted for illegal
downloading.
You are not anonymous when you illegally download copyrighted material.
Your IP address is x.x.x.x and has been logged.
Respect the music, download legally.
Goodbye Everyone. - Snakedal337, on 10/12/2007, -1/+21Charging me $25 for a CD with DRM out the wazoo is bad too.
All they need to do is get rid of the DRM, the 1000 damn stickers, the security tag RIGHT ON THE ALBUM ART (Stick it on a small peice of paper in the lyrical book, is that so hard) , and bring the price down $10-$15 and you got my money again.
But the DRM is my main complaint. Why would I pay you if I can only copy the CD 3 times, when I can get both the music for free, and make unlimited backups for it. They make no damn sense. - bradleyland, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17Ummm. Don't most default web server installs log your IP as part of the standard access logs?
- dbug, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17eDonkey is dead. Long live eMule!

We win. - jp007, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12@Nougat's post:
Whew! They didn't say anything about software. Now I can rest easy! - Takteek, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13I think the eDonkey network is actually still working, just their software won't work....
- markcrules, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Shame the article didnt link to the edonkey page directly, it would have been fun to poison all the IP lists of so called pirates with digg users. Plus, I thought bittorrent had all but killed off other p2p apps anyway, if you want privacy, use usenet.
- nasium, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11http://www.zeropaid.com has a HUGE list of other p2p netwoks to choose from, just check em out! My ip has been logged, o no! Last time I checked, it isn't illegal to view a website...
- zbeast, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10It's not the network thats dead. It's the edonkey client thats no longer supported.
There are lots of other clients that are better that work on that network.
emule for example.
http://www.emule-project.net/home/perl/general.cgi?l=1
If your really interested you can still run the edonkey client by blocking
it's access to the edonkey website by blocking it in your host file.
Otherwise when your edonkey client connects to that site it receives a message telling it to uninstall. - damentz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10TakTeek, your right, the edonkey network is still alive. The open source app eMule uses it and their own variant of overnet named Kademlia or kad for short. Since its open source, anyone continue the original version if the riaa noobs it down.
- MisterCookie, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10You're about to get more minus diggs than mathematically thought possible kelba.
- gmillerd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Agreed, keeping moving along.
- DannySpace, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11You're dead dude; you're so dead! Quick, unplug your modem!

:-D - duewydo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10They can take thier MalWare with 'em!
- jizzatch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8The last cd I bought was one by Muse and 10000 days before that. If I respect the artist, I buy their cd. But, I have been burned too many times by discs that have only 2 or 3 listenable tracks, and then a bunch of crap to buy a cd sight unheard. I refuse to go the DRM restricted iTunes route. And, 30 seconds of a clip on Amazon is not enough. So, I just go to video.google or youtube and watch the ***** online for free. If I like it enough, I will go buy the cd. And, hopefully no one told the MPAA and RIAA, but you can get an extension thru Firefox that allows you to download the videos to your HD.
It's such ***** that some CEO gets 500 times the average worker to shmooze while the artists get paid jack *****. And, am I the only one that gets sick of top 40? There are hundreds of thousands of songs out there, but the radio stations insist on picking the lousiest 40 ***** songs to play ad nauseum. No wonder the recording industry is doing so bad. Same goes for the movie industry. Too much formulaic garbage out there burying the truly innovative and creative. And now, we have video games going down a similar path as the industry consolidates (ie. gets bought up by EA).
***** them. We will just find another way around the system. After all, these are just thought crimes we are talking about. Go after the real ***** criminals, i.e. the ones that have hijacked our Constitutional Republic. - championchap, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9as one service dies, another 2 take its place
every cloud has a silver lining - MrKite, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Dudes, mostly all webservers log the ip's of its visitor by default.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8http://www.cdfreaks.com/news/13747
:) - nmaster64, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8This doesn't affect eMule though, right? I don't believe so...
As long as eMule lives, life goes on... - yukevster, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Yeah, but there are still many files etc. that are just not available as torrents. Edonkey had such a wide variety and availability.
- mgreenwald, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Sorry to hear it, I hate to see parts of P2P die.
- u8myfoood, on 10/12/2007, -0/+71 network dies, 2 take its place... its supply and demand!
- dignation, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Apparently it thinks my IP address is 88.191.12.12
By the way, I live in the US - nxxm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6use emule if you have still not discovered this opensource alternative in the past many years.....

- Slovenian6474, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9Hahah! Good thing i'm on someone else's wireless...
- Snakedal337, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6shark im not sure what artists your refering to, but my general listening genre is rock/metal, most of which do in fact make more money in their sales of shirts, hoodies and what not. I'm not saying all, locally ive spoke with several bands who have made a decent amount of popularity , but not gone "Prime time" each say they would rather you buy their merch, where 90% of the money goes to them (Minus what it costed to make the merch) than to buy the CD, where they have to give their record company, producers, etc etc a cut of it.
- Travelsonic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6"The RIAA is doing good..."
By shutting down a program website because it was abused by people, instead of following up on the "we support legal uses of these programs" ***** they spew on their own FAQs and helping these services become more filled with legal stuff, like open source software, indie music and stuff?
Yeah, right! And monkeys will fly out of my butt!
"stealing is bad. "
True...
But this is copyright infringement. *d'oh*
"You can't justify piracy,"
Maybe not in a way you like it, but that's you, and justifications don't have to necessarily cater to your likings to be justifiations, like 'em or not.
"...so stfu about how the RIAA is evil "
As soon as you can come up with a coherent, and ORIGINAL argument, back it up, and stop spouting off like an immature preppy teenage bitch... then maybe I will... ummm no, just because you don't like it doesn't mean people can't hate the RIAA, and a lot of people have very good reasoning behind their hate, it is just the ones with bad reasoning that get exposure the most. Those who do have reasonable and well expressed reasons to dislike/hate the RIAA, or any **AA for that matter should not, and will not "STFU" just for the likes of you.
" ...ive never had ANY trouble with DRM. So you either live in a really unfortunate area or your full of it"
How mature, outright denial solely on your experiences... do a little research, I challenge you. See how many people DRM has inconvinienced for real.
"you buy their t-shirt than album, you assume they just let you know it's ok to steal their *****? "
Comparing physical goods, digital (infinite) goods, and copyright infringement/theft = inaccurate, bad, -diggs. - Ystig, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6It means the DonkeyServers run by Edonkey's commercial backers will presumably be shut down. But all the other servers will likely remain. Personally, I use the Emule client with Kad and 3rd party servers, so as a user, this doesn't affect me at all, and it will have a similar absence of effect on many others.
Razorback2 getting shut down was probably a bigger problem for the network, all things considered. - kaczus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6...though you die,
La Resistance lives on... - Dabellah, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Anyone claiming IPs are not traceable is a newb and here is why - They might be randomly assigned for people, especially dial-up users, but the log can also (and almost ALWAYS will) contain the time of use for that IP and who was using it then. With this information, ISPs can and will go back to check on your IP address just to see it was you, forward the information to the requester and there you have it - logged, pursued and blammed. There is hardly such a thing as being completely anonymous on the Internet. You can break up traffic into packets, forward them to 100 different locations each, and all that would do is slow down the trace. If so inclined, you can and will be sought after. Hardcore hackers can get away from it by simply remoting into another box somewhere or abusing an open protocol such as a SOCKS server or something and then doing their work from that, making it look like THAT person was the one performing such acts as downloading music. Either way, never assume you are safe or completely anonymous... that's just ridiculous.
- bignickolson, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I've a friend who works for a usenet company...and there isn't any real privacy there either. They are constantly getting subpoenas from law organizations, that they fully comply with.
- Snakedal337, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6@kelba
Did you know most artists make more money off sales off merch on their sites than they do off their CDs?
I ENJOY "Mainstream" music. I love the music the artists produce. What I dont love is how they package it. So what your telling me to do is, just cut myself out from all music I enjoy, and simply listen to "underground bands" who usually have a production value of $5 and sound worse than my local karyoke bar? No thanks.
I'll find the disco on demonid and buy a teeshirt, thank you have a nice day. -
