Arguments End in Landmark Kazaa Piracy Case

PeerGuardian 2 Windows is available

Helping to fight the good fight against the RIAA, this helpful program is a must have when operating on P2P. Each time you launch PeerGuardian, an updated list will be sync'd w/your PC of known RIAA informants and blocks them from connecting to your computer. These lists contain IPs that the RIAA has used to catch file swappers.

While this doesn't guarantee you'll be 100% protected, it will help in blocking the RIAA from browsing through your files. The best way to not get caught is to not share pirated files, backing up current files is one thing "acquiring" through other means, well......

A Code Of Conduct For The Recording Industry

Contributed by Brett on Tuesday, April 12th, 2005 @ 11:59AM
from the what's-good-for-goose dept.
It appears that record companies and their movie counterparts are pressuring ISPs to adopt a "code of conduct" for blocking P2P file sharing and turning in such users to the authorities. Perhaps it seems odd for one (non-governmental) industry to create a code of conduct for another. But what the heck. In that spirit, we've taken the liberty of creating a code of conduct for ISPs to impose on the record labels. It would go something like this: 1) acknowledge that file sharing is inevitable (and forget about us policing our networks for you); 2) use that to your advantage, as industries have similarly done for centuries; 3) if you need help with #2, do this: devise a smarter business model that embraces file sharing, perhaps even exploits it; 4) if you need help with #3, do this: consider sharing as free advertising and build services around that; 5) if you need help with #4, try this: your new business model all laid out for you; and 6) by all means, stop giving sibling spinoff acts a contract and/or a microphone.

Ok fellow college students...... HEAR ME

It was bound to happen. The RIAA is issuing over 400 lawsuits against students at 18 colleges. If you're currently "acquiring" mp3s, movies, programs, on any closed P2P.....from the Internet2 network, just be aware the RIAA/MPAA is attempting to crack down on this. Cover your "6".

Why can't hacking be used for good?

Well, those hackers are at it again. This time, it's a fake email used to lure the unsuspecting user to a fake microsoft update site where your pc will be infected w/a Trojan Horse. If users download the "patches," they are actually installing the Troj/DSNX-05 Trojan horse that lets the attackers remotely take control of the infected PC.
