RIAA hit list
 

[quote:3c56e]The recording industry has launched a sweeping effort to identify and shut down individual song swappers, making good on recent threats to expand its legal battle against copyright theft.

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has now issued more than 911 subpoenas to Internet service providers across the United States, trying to get the names of people still offering music on file-sharing networks such as KaZaA and Grokster.

Today, "Tech Live" brings you the RIAA Hit List, the user names of file traders targeted in the recording industry subpoenas.

Last month, we brought you the story of Jesse Jordan, a 19-year-old college student who became one of the first to be hit with a lawsuit by the RIAA. Jordan settled his case by paying $12,000 to the RIAA.

The following user names were culled from subpoenas filed with the US District Court in Washington, DC. All subpoenas, incidentally, are being served by the Los Angeles law firm of Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp. A total of 253 RIAA subpoenas were listed as of July 22 through the federal court system's paid online database, PACER. The actual subpoenas are available to view online in about half the cases.

The court documents don't show individual users' real names. They do show file-sharing network user names, the user's ISP, the user's IP address, and a sampling of copyright songs the user allegedly made available for download. To date, many ISPs have been contacted, including Pac Bell Internet, SBC, Charter Communications, Comcast, Adelphia, RCN, and Time Warner.

Following is a list of the first user names from our review of the subpoenas.

gather teh l33t warriors! we will haX0r their site! M16:

By now I am getting so pissed I want to literally pirate the music industry,

that is sail a "ship 'o' th' line" up to their executive office building, hoist the Jolly Roger, and start firing broadsides evil:

sounds good lets do it

Im just glad on not on there with all the fuggin pr0n I download.

Oh wait this was music happy:

If you put your music out there like that, you deserve to get sued.

they can't do shit to you for downloading, this is for hosting music for download.

If they sued everyone who downloaded the President would probably call the Marines on the music industry, because they would tie up the US courts for years, and trials for real crimes would be tied up.

http://www.k_lite.tk_Kazaa_Lite@Kazaa is a generic name, im pretty sure

isnt this an invasion of privacy

RIAA can die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i hope a terrorist blows up there building, that will be about the only good thing they could do

couldnt everyone download under the same name they couldnt catch the real culprit.

Death to RIAA!

I don't use kazaa but still!!

wait-so i i take my downloaded music, and put it into a new folder on the C drive, and it wasnt available for download, then they could do anything to me?

btw-if everyone does that then no music will be shared

Heh, I'm safe.

They are suing IP addresses. So no using the same name wont do shit.

me 2 biggrin:

I hate them supposedly Kazza took them to court over the ordeal but lost the case those cooperate bastards make a lot of money still. Heres an anti-RIAA t-shirt http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/generic/61e7/

if you get the latest version of kazaa lite(maybe kazaa too) it has a IP blocker, so the RIAA can't track you.

those evil basterds...I love it evil:

the riaa website has been hacked 2 times. i love looking at the hacked versions of it. they forget that some hackers are serious mp3 piraters hake:

so why is my name on that list

They sue you, you countersuit for invasion of privacy.

Invasion of privacy isn't a valid thing when you are breaking the law. Which you ARE when you download music. Make no bones about it.

However ISP providers will be watching this closely. HSI carries with it the implied use of getting content over the web, i.e. music. Wont help an ISP's customer relations if they start handing over all their ISP and clients.

the Feds should sue RIAA for tying up courts,

I am sure there's some important trials that need to take place.

yeah, like people suing over mcdonalds

^B.S.

not BS, teh hax0r

Well, seems the RIAA has all the n00bs running for cover. You'll never stop the flow of file sharing unless the ISP providers put a cap on bandwidth.
With that aside, whats to stop a guy from borrowing his buddy's CD collection and ripping them? It's the same thing isn't it? They can do whatever they like but they'll never stop the flow.

I think that ISPs should ignore RIAA's requests and concentrate on rooting out hackers and geting that info to the FBI.

IMNSHO a couple hundred GB of cancer or alternative fuels research data that are lost when a university network is hacked are worth a whole lot more than a couple hundred CDs worth of pirated music.

GTBOY=Teh Bant

Screw You Ed *mumbling*

+, my list has different name's than those on here. Also, it was updated on august 28th. annoy:

So a mod merges the changes. You should have done a search. You're the new SCHLASS only not funny. While SCHLASS posted - insanity - you post pseudo-intellectualism in some lame attempt to stimulate "debate".

Im quite sure if you took a poll on that, ppl would agree with you. Not funny. mah?? Man, ure jokes are friggin horrible and you call me not funny, wow. Its funny how ppl around here think im white but clearly clearly clearly, its you who they should suspect.

Because I talk in full sentences? You're getting more "N00b" points every day.

heh, i knew you were gonna say that. Ed, why dont you just join the NAACP and fight for our rights. Gah, i really dont like black ppl like you man.

imwithstupid:

Actually, no rules were broken - Nowhere in the rules does it ask to use the search tool because I'm fully aware that it's fairly useless on this site. I just tried to search for topics relating to my map "crossfire village" and specified the MMS forum. It proceeded to produce over 1k results from all forums.

Fuck that.

The rules say you should look back around 2 pages before posting. This thread is over a month old. No wonder I missed it, I can't even remember what I was doing 2 weeks ago, let alone a month.

Thanks anyway.

Now, seeing as this thread is old and is now totally off-topic, this one shall be locked and the new one can continue as no rules were broken and.. well who cares anyway?
