Maybe this (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=529&ncid=529&e=6&u=/ap/20030827/ap_en_mu/downloading_music) is of interest to the music downloaders.

This doesn't tell me much, basically they know if I downloaded this or not.

BTW, If you Re-Encode your Music they can't trace you, it would create a new Hash,

BITE ME RIAA!

Meh, being from Australia is great. Our record companies haven't done crap (so far)

I think this BBC Article (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3187695.stm) is probably along the same lines.

Although i seriously don't agree with how the RIAA is handling this. Some people were simply out and out abusing and, as far as i'm concerned, stealing. Hell, what she was doing was worse than someone stealing a cd from a store.

Seriously!

Damn, stupid DMCA.

I can't believe they can sue people like this, so damn unbelievable
