I wonder if they're notified. I'd just immediately stop sharing everything and burn my harddrive if I was on it.

Hmmm, Joe@kazaa.com, jim@kazaa.com, Tyler@kazaa.com..... I'm guessing more than one person has those names, and a few people are having heart attacks right now.
All I got to say is, my 16 year old sister downloaded it all, what're they going to do to a minor? :P

Is 16 still minor? I think it's like, 14 and under still minor. Because, a normal 16 year old would know wrong from right by now.

in the US, legally, its 18 to be considered an adult. Anything below and your parents are responsible for your actions. So you have to be wild then ;)

oh man, this scares me alot!!!!
i USED to have a program that converts mp3 to RAM or something like that. i got it from kazaa, now i havent had it for a 2 years. Could they still get me for that. I know that i shouldnt of done it. but thats not really an excuse. :(

haha, i'm just playing. but seriously, Real is the disease of the internet.
RAM ==> "Real's Attempt at Media"

Whats RAM? I know what Ram is, but RAM? Is it a streamer?

LOL alex. You can dl 7000000000000 gb of software and movies and they don't care. All they care about is mp3's. Plus, they're not stupid enough to go after everybody who uses kazaa, they'd completely tick off the whole nation and no one would buy cd's. They're just going after the people with like 80 gigs of music on their hd's and are always sharing it over kazaa.

Real Audio Media.
it uses lame compression, and it's mainly used to stream media content, or at least try to :-\

when i used kazaa, i would only download a couple of songs, then i would delete kazaa because of the spyware. i was never online for more than 10 min.
I am really glad im not on the hit list. im trying to buy a car, i dont need a 12,000 bill in my mail box:P:P:P

Don't wory Alex, they have to prove it was you actually sitting there downloading it, which i assume would be near impossible.
Maxtr0sity
July 23rd, 2003, 10:55 PM
Well, since they trace your IP, they still can charge you because it's your computer, but then if it's public, then it's different.

They can't do anything if you spoof your IP and disable the 1214 port. . . .
Well another hint, don't share files, they can't prove anything if you download a file from someone, it is the people that host the songs that concerns them. :thumb:
mdipi
July 23rd, 2003, 11:34 PM
yeah i turned share off a while back. got annoyed
mlk
July 24th, 2003, 04:43 AM
yeay but at the same time the whole p2p thing is about file sharing - so you've got to take that into account...
anyway if you d/l a file too your ip could be recorded - so you'd have to turn off d/l too. Which means you'd have a really usefull kazaa =)
oh and btw
www.k_lite.tk_Kazaa_Lite@Kazaa <-- i've seen at least 5000 of them... as well as i've seen hundreds of people with the same screennames that are posted...
it's a scare tactic. ill be impressed if all these people are REALLY arrested, fined and sent to jail....

Glad i live in Canada. I sue kazza lite no spy ware or add ware. PLus jsut move your MP3's out of your share folder once u have them. If it isnt' hosted in youyr share they cna't tell what is on your PC.

why the **** do you guys use "kazaa"?
God ****it, i thought that program was done years ago :P
Use Direct Connect (www.neo-modus.com) it's much better and NO spyware.
