  • Its a little late. Its been on the web for over a week. It is a mild form of terrorism! Don’t let it get out of hand and let it escalate to bombs and guns and such though. I rather just ignore the law rather than go out with flamebottles, guns and bombs. I haven’t called these yet. They may have changed their phone numbers and sued somebody already. Probably don’t care too. I’m happy with my Emule. It still works good. Havn’t rebooted or restarted Emule in over a month (IP Blocker update don’t require any restarts)! I wonder who in the Recording Industry Association of America leaked this. He probably got fired and is getting sued too with possible crinimal charges. Praise to the leaker though! He just gave it away on the internet like a makeshift rougue TV-station! Didn’t need to make a buck off of it.

    Here’s how to get through to the RIAA: call (202) 857-9600, this will put you at the root of their voicemail system. Then enter the last four digits of the person’s number to get to their REAL voicemail. Leave your message there

    They can take their oligopolic / monopolic dreams of power and money and go to hell along with their DRM.

I started downloading them about two weeks prior and they finished about 2 weeks after theatrical release. I am very spoiled to DVD screeners and I think I only EVER downloaded 1 CAM - X-Men 3.? I don’t expect to be CAMing any theaters myself because I generally won’t keep CAMs in my hoard because of their shitty quality.? So I largely slip through the cracks of one of the main purproses of this law.? Expect more laws and worse laws though.? Anything thats not through a shopping-mall pay-for-everything, be dictacted on every action, and be watched over everything business model will eventually be illegal.

    P2P File Sharing and Paranoia News Comments 2006-06-29

  • P2PNet - RIAA lawsuit insurance offer
  • BoingBoing - P2P insurer will pay your fines if RIAA sues: $19/year!
  • Insurer’s Website
  • Slyck - RIAA??s Grand Total: 10,037 - What are Your Odds?
  • NSC - What are the odds of dying? Compare with Odds of a RIAA lawsuit
  • G4TV - RIAA Hit List (2003)
  • Look! RIAA lawsuit insurance! Odds are computed worldwide. The insurance is only being offered to sweedes in Sweden i think, and you probably also have to be sued through a Swedish court. I think Sweden is a small minority country for RIAA lawsuit targets. They may be requiring a trial conviction as well and won’t pay out for a settlement. Its more profitable than the articles make it look if these things are true. I doubt any payouts will ever be made. I can’t read Swedish though so I can’t be sure on what their terms are. Insurance is a complicated thing and its generally screw or be screwed kind of thing (especially doctors vs medical insurance middlemen).

  • Laws like this are unenforceable to its intention without iron-hand rule / surveillance and martial law. Most violators are non-collaborative individuals and will require extensive Goverment-ISP surveillance and house-to-house warrant-less searches and maybe even on-the-spot beatings or executions.

  • P2PNet - US denies Sweden file sharing threat
  • TheLocal (Sweden’s News in English) - Bodstr?m welcomes interference probe
  • Case of wrong department syndrome. MPAA is working with backwater departments of the bureaucracy. Goerge Bush would know nothing about it. I still think threats were issued though they were worded subtlety and that its all orchestrated by the MPAA/RIAA and that George bush is in passive support of it all.

  • NetImperative - IPTV/VoD: The Fall Of Content??s Kingdom
  • I think this article is a good prediction of the world if the governments and corporation fail to defeat P2P filesharing through iron-hand rule. It gives insight on how businesses can compete with P2P filesharing as if it were an actual business competitor. The paragraph starting with ‘P2P networks have weaknesses too which are permanent’ largely applies to Kazaa and to a lesser extent, gnutella though. The bandwidth-hogging part is true for non-geeky users, but Emule can be taught to not hog the connection. The article is really good. I suggest reading it and even keeping a copy in case it goes down and becomes unavailable.

  • OpenDemocracy - Education and development on the high seas of copyright infringement
  • Companies in America and Europe and maybe China too could care less. If it isn’t through the marketing (company) or Public Relations (government) department, its piracy if its copied. It don’t matter if its educational, going to the poor or whatever.

    ****************************************

  • P2PNet - MPAA, RIAA, US team up
  • RIAA/MPAA PIs and lawyers do make up most of the enforcement these days, even in China. Imagine when big government really gets involved. Massive non-compliance social unrest and example-making abound.

  • Not surprising. Until I was about 23 about I though America was the only country of significance in the world. It is not at all surprising that American companies push American law to the rest of the world. Problem is that American cultural influence, more from the large corporations, is influencing other countries to be more like America, including in it’s laws.

  • Havn’t seen the commercial in the first commercial. The commercials are so ironic though. Apple is not ‘freedom’. It is proprietary and DRM-slavery. They make the drones and the barcode-heads. Kazaa lawsuit victim conned into a commercial for pro-DRM service. I don’t think Pepsi know she was a RIAA lawsuit victim. I know the commercial because I downloaded the commercial from Emule and then deleted it because it sucked. I kept the 1984 mac commercial though maybe it’s ‘freedom’ is out of the text-based DOS interface and not open standards and no-DRM.

  • It was 100% of my portable MP3 player’s content. I had it for a year. It got stolen though. Havn’t replaced it yet. I will never buy an IPod. If I get one free I will give it away or just use it for storage, if it is usable as a mass-storage device without iTunes software.

  • USA Today - Yoga copyright raises questions of ownership
  • Looks like people are copyrighting and patenting India’s traditional yoga moves or just programs/conglomerates of them or derivatives, to gain monopolistic power or just to get free money in lawsuits or both. Certainly looks like products of the RIAA’s education, role-modeling and example-making.

  • P2PNet - Microsoft to dump WGA
  • ZDNet Blogs - Is Microsoft about to release a Windows “kill switch”?
  • Microsoft forums with ‘remedies’
  • RemoveWGA
  • I would stop accepting ALL windows updates at least at home. The ‘kill switch’ will probably be embedded in one of the ’security patches’. Go ahead and use your job as a guinea pig though. Who cares if your work machine gets locked out as long as you got your work backed up elsewhere beyond company control.

    If you already installed WGA RemoveWGA should be able to get rid of it. It may be possible that the kill switch may only be in Windows Vista, or it will be in a ‘update’ to Windows Genuine DisAdvantage. Half of Windows Genuine Advantage seems to be actually an transitionary upgrade to the serial number validation system. It probably won’t even be necessary in Vista as it will be built-in to the install-time serial number validation system - at least the part that make sure that your VLK serial number that you put in belongs to the company distribution cluster that your particular windows belongs to (if its a VLK edition at all) or that your are not using a Dell OEM serial on a Toshiba OEM windows or any VLK or OEM key on a retail version. The other part of Windows Genuine Advantage probably is checking the Microsoft database every week against a piracy blacklist database on Microsoft’s server and that will probably be put into a no-name code module in Vista. So WGA isn’t going to be ‘dumped’.

  • These MPAA / RIAA corporations are EVIL. They try to be legal and ask for permission for something totally non-profit and difficult to reproduce (well somebody could take a picture and put it up on WebShots). Takes a press frenzy for them to reverse their ‘NO’ answer. I say don’t bother asking. They will only say ‘NO’. If you want it enough and its copying related (somebody not actually losing a physical item) and its non-profit just do it anyway.

  • Hiding in Plain Sight, Google Seeks More Power
  • Google’s good image is marred by its own video service (but its better than YouTube). Stream only but it gives the author the option to allow downloads, but downloads are in a proprietary-wrapper that makes the video work only in Google’s player software. Looks like ‘open format’ and ‘free’ was just a single-generation fad of the 80s and early 90s (when the PC and most of the current internet implementations were researched). It makes me neutral on google having its own internet because I no longer think that google for sure to create capitalistic incentive for net neutrality. I do prefer a stubborn big corporation that is not as evil as the rest of them to establish net netrality via capitalistic competition over laws, regulation and heavy foot of goverment though. If all rather than just some of the people in power are too evil then its bye bye internet and hello services like late 80s-Early 90s Compuserver and the current ‘Get It Now’ services - propreitarized, shopping mall business models with lots and lots of DRM.

  • PC-World - Does File Trading Fund Terrorism?
  • Warez Groups are largely non-profit. Bootlegger groups are more crinimal. Got people like me too - individual users. I’m pretty sure al-queada and many other anti-american goverments and organizations uses Emule and BitTorrent for espionage and propaganda material. Wheather its leaks, analytical mining off of copyrighted works and homebrew material. The battlefield2 video presented in congress as terrorist training material was portrayed as delibrately made as such by terrorists for terrorists, but it turns out to be made by some non-terrorist kid and possibly pirated (more legally than not but enough lawyers and its not) by terrorists to use for training or more likely, propaganda. But it might not have been used by terrorists at all. But all that would be classified so you’ll never know how much evidence the US goverment has or doesn’t have.

    Blue-Ray Burners for a Grand. Blu-Ray vs HD-DVD

    Tuesday, June 27th, 2006

    Meritline.com - Blue-Ray Burners and Discs

    Blu-Ray burners for a grand! Single-layer discs running on a unit price of $20-25 per piece. I might be getting one in a year or two when the drive is $250 or less and the media is $2 or less.

    I think PCs and PlayStations will adopt blue-ray while hollywood will end up on HD-DVD. I can see an anti-piracy motive on this. Casual pirates won’t be willing to pay the premium price dual-drives or hybrid drives (unless the hybrids become cheap). Only geeks and serious movie watchers would do such a thing. Cuts the ripping population down to a quarter (post-crack-mainstreaming). HDDVD for the TV and BluRay for the PC would be mainstream until the hybrid drives get cheap enough.. Don’t expect me to buy that many HDTV movies if they do this though. Only LOTR, Harry Potter and Star Wars. Blu-Ray vs HD-DVD for me? I would choose BlueRay. Just need a little more patience for the prices to drop.

    Here are some links to articles on HD-DVD vs Blu-Ray. It appears that Toshiba is selling its HD-DVD player at a loss, banking on its royalties and license fees from clones and maybe the discs too. If the discs have to pay royalties, that may not be good for HD-DVD, unless its the same for blu-ray also (which I would hate). It is not unusual to undercut a product like that. Many game consoles are sold under-cost to bank on game royalties.

  • BBC - China film piracy ‘costs $2.7bn’
  • Now why do you think so many hollywood movies are pirated in China and the mob counterfeiters so successful? I prefer Emule but you generally need to use black-market proxies and routers to get out of the country without hinderance (shaping, throttling, censorship) though.

It appears that Baidu and Yahoo have banned the keyword ‘GreatInca’ also, both returning only one result, a metasearch page Emule Chinese Movies Download for baidu and a Posting on Emule’s Forums for Yahoo. So I guess China does hate me. Oh well, like I give a damn. Democracy communism sucks commy party sucks down with communist tyrants rebellion uprising massacre matyre. Now that more stuff to censor. Whats wierd is that some searches on Baidu will only bring up ED2K hashlink sites with links to pirated copyrighted movies and music with the rest of the results being censored!!

The Slyck Link has a Link to a US goverment to sweedish goverment communication that was leaked from an embasy in Sweden to a sweedish newsaper. I say ignore the threats!! Refuse! Resist! The USA imports so much shit that they need the trade more than the theatened country does. Let the USA put up sanctions. World economic depression with the USA getting screwed the most. Emule (piracy) can only compensate and bypass sanctions for digital goods but it will do a good damned job at it though. Works quite well in China. If its digital and trade barriers or internal restrictions cause unfufilled demand, Emule happily fills the void! Probably, eventually, the USA will being going to WAR over piracy instead of WMD-paranoia or Oil! With the RIAA, MPAA and other, like-cultured, large corporations at the helm via a puppet interface!

  • P2PNet - MPAA gumshoes The Pirate Bay
  • The PirateBay Blog - Stalking, MPAAs new(?) modus operandi
  • PIs (Private investigators) are used everywhere. My company may be using one on me for all I know. My sister hired one to stalk evidence for a lawsuit on a babysitter who caused my nephew to get 2nd degree burns from a scalding hot bathtub faucet because she was watching too many kids at a time. The babysitter babysitted in-house for someone dragging 5-6 other kids into that house that she was supposed to watch in her own house. The babysitter’s employer’s homeowners insurance ended up the victim as the babysitter had nothing to take. Most of the spy cams that you would find would belong to a PI and not the FBI as they usually use remote survance or cameras under 1/8″, usually slinkies and have active monitoring within 1/4 mile while a PI is a pickup a tape every day or two kind of deal.

  • P2PNet - Swedish anti-p2p site hacked: more
  • P2PNet - MPAA goes after Swedish ISP
  • (Edited 6/29/2006) The USA Constitution is too outdated to grant freedom of electronic distribution. The Bible is too obsolete to give any wisdom of intellectual property and is only covered by the equivilant of generic heuristic used by anti-virus programs (when definitions are outdated or the virus is just too new) of ‘love god’ and ‘love thy neighbor’. Though this catch-all heuristic is much more effective than the predictive heuristic algorithms used in the antivirus programs. I can’t wait until gentic piracy becomes an issue if it not already is (breeding)!!

    I have a pro-piracy example in the Bible! It is not precisely like digital copying though. It is more like chopping up an MP3 or AVI into 1000 little pices and picking 500 random pieces of it and merging it with your own 500 out of 1000 little pieces of a similar and compatible MP3 or AVI. Look at Genesis 30 Verse 25 to 43 (Link is to Genesis Chapter 30 on the NLT on BibleGateway.com). It is an example of breeding piracy. Verses 37 to 43 has the methodology and Verse 25 to 37 provides contextual coherence. Jacob ’stole’ a copy of the genetic material from Laban’s flock (’stole’ because no permission to inter-breed was obtained from Laban and common meeting/watering grounds was exploited) by using sexual lures to encourage inter-breeding (biological copying the old-fashioned way) while being selective at which animals mate (by removing the herbal aromic sexual lures). It describes it as an achievment and blessing, not a crime, probably more becuase there was no concept of ‘intellectual property’ in early old-testament times. If you did that in real-life though, you’d probably get sued, with conviction being dependent on how well the laws are developed in determining how or in what way genes can by copyrighted.

    Boy just wait until you can start sharing cloning schematics on the filesharing networks (or just sharing blu-rays with your friend!)!! Digital-Genetic-Warez!! One problem is that cloning and digitized genome maps leave the scope of the context of the bible block. It only describes inter-breeding between livestock herds without permission of the other herd’s owner and it does not precisely overlap with exact and lossless digital copying. The gentic code itself is ‘digital’ though - it can be replicated without error, but the god-created natural process encourages minor errors and systems that are robust against these minor errors and then splices two copies (parents) half-and-half with 99 to 99.99% similar genomes to produce diversity in the 3rd copy (baby).

Go pick on Europe, Russia, and especially China too. Even India could have underground UFO salvage going on.

    Deluxe AICH + Full Hashset + Nike Site Emule P2P Filesharing Web Source ED2K Links for Downloading Nike Eric Cantona Joga Bonito JogaTV World Cup 2006 Commercials / Pubs / Spots / Adverts

    Thursday, June 22nd, 2006

    Though I??m not currently sharing these, I did downloaded all 24 of the Eric Cantona / Joga Bonito / JogaTV World Cup 2006 Nike commercials for 12 regions / languages direct from Nike so I can provide deluxe quality Emule P2P file-sharing ED2K links with full hashsets and AICH hashes and descriptive filenames, plus an inital web-source seed to Nike’s site in case the commercial/language doesn’t have any presense on the network yet. Most Western European languages have a HEAVY presence some over 100 sources. Its the Eastern Europe and Asian languages that may not.

    This massive list of links was made possible by a good naming scheme! Except for the asian languages, all you have to do is change the two-letter language code in the filename, such as ‘_la_’ and ‘_us_’ and ‘_br_’! The Asian languages, excluding thailand (which is chaos and have english subtitles or no subitles at all), also follow the convention except for having a different domain name and base directory path, but is consistent within the language block. The good naming convention is very good for Nike’s viral marketing compaign (I havn’t seen any of these on TV but there are some limited sat-rips or DSRs on Emule) because of autistic-obsessed hoarder-sharers like me!

    The Languages / Regions are United States English, Latin America Spanish, French, German, Czech, Polish, Russian, Italian, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese. All except Italian, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese have all 24 commercials. The United states has 4 additional US-National Team sepcific commercials that lack a JogaTV context. Hong Kong had its japanese-subtitled commericals removed (Same MD4/MD5 as Japanese version) and Korea had its english-subtitled commericals removed (Same MD4/MD5 as United States version). The only inter-regional dupes I allowed were the ‘Brazillian Ping-Pong’ spots which have no subtitles at all and just barely a few words of spoken language.

    Except for the Italian, all the languages pertain only to the subtitles. Only the italian commercials are ??overdubbed??. The rest are the original english commercial with the subtitles in that language. If you live in the united states I’d recommend downloading the Latin American / Spanish commercials as it makes little sense to have English subtitles on English Dialague if you are fluent in English. I would guess French would be best for UK downloaders. All of the linked videos are in windows media video (windows media player) format. The videos are between 4-25 megabytes each.

    Direct to Nike Site Web Download Links for Nike Eric Cantona Joga Bonito JogaTV World Cup 2006 Commercials / Pubs / Spots / Adverts

    Thursday, June 22nd, 2006

    Here are direct links to download the commercials should your only broadband or semi-broadband internet connection be at a very P2P file-sharing restricted workplace environment. These Link to Nike’s site so use them only if you must. I think it would be more contributive to Nike’s marketing if you download them from Emule even if you ‘leech’ them as Emule’s mandatory incomplete / incoming (recently completed) folder sharing will help spread the files virally. Plus you can permashare (or just procrastinate in removing from ‘incoming’) the commercials too. I actually think Nike sucked since about 2003 for MLS (plus I think Adidas is ahead technologically now), but their commercials are still cool.

    This massive list of links was made possible by a good naming scheme! Except for the asian language schems, all you have to do is change the two-letter language code in the filename, such as ‘la’ and ‘us’ and ‘br’! The Asian ones, excluding thailand, which is chaos, also follows the convention except for having a different domain name and base directory path, but is consistent within the language block. The good naming convention is very good for Nike’s viral marketing compaign (I havn’t seen any of these on TV but there are some limited sat-rips or DSRs on Emule) because of autistic-obsessed hoarder-sharers like me!

    The Languages / Regions are United States English, Latin America Spanish, French, German, Czech, Polish, Russian, Italian, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese. All except Italian, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese have all 24 commercials. The United states has 4 additional US-National Team sepcific commercials that lack a JogaTV context. Hong Kong had its japanese-subtitled commericals removed (Same MD4/MD5 as Japanese version) and Korea had its english-subtitled commericals removed (Same MD4/MD5 as United States version). The only inter-regional dupes I allowed were the ‘Brazillian Ping-Pong’ spots which have no subtitles at all and just barely a few words of spoken language.

    Except for the Italian, all the languages pertain only to the subtitles. Only the italian commercials are ??overdubbed??.

If you live in the united states I’d recommend downloading the Latin American / Spanish commercials as it makes little sense to have English subtitles on English Dialague if you are fluent in English. I would guess French would be best for UK downloaders. All of the linked videos are in windows media video (windows media player) format. If you want the quicktime format instead, simply alter the urls (in GetRight or save the page and edit in textpad) and find and replace ‘.wmv’ with ‘.mov’ and they will be working valid links (such as from ‘nike_divers/nike_divers_la_high.wmv’ to ‘nike_divers/nike_divers_la_high.mov’). The videos are between 4-25 megabytes each.

    The RIAA don’t want you publishing your videos (or karaoke MP3s) of you dancing or singing to your favorite songs online!

  • Hey, me downloading some of the fanmade music videos actually made me buy 2 CDs! Stupid-ass tyrants. Just boycott them, regardless of piracy availability.

    Here’s some examples (with ED2K links):

    Kids Jamming to System of a down (Matches Articles):

  • System of a Down - Chop Suey funny version.wmv
  • I made these, school project too (ripped from VHS):

  • Legend Music Video - Fight with the Devil - Sepultura - Arise - Dead Embryonic Cells - Ripped From Tape Very Low Rez 160×120 Old MS Mpeg4.avi
  • Star Wars Music Video - Sepultura - Beneath The Remains, Escape To The Void, Troops of Doom - Ripped From Tape Very Low Rez 160×120 Old MS Mpeg4.avi
  • Some other fan-made music videos (some are foreign):

  • Arabic Music Video faked as Paul Johnson execution Video.ram

  • Final Fantasy X - Linkin Park - In The End.mpg

  • Final Fantasy X - Shakira - Ojos Asi.avi
  • Final Fantasy X-2 - Ayumi Hamasaki - Trauma (Thunderpuss Remix).mpg
  • Final Fantasy X-2 - Tidus and Yuna - Evanescence - Whisper.mpg
  • The RIAA says these are all illegal (they are illegal or will be illegal within 5-10 years) and will put you in a random drawing for a lawsuit if your kid puts such one or more of these videos up on the internet. This only applies if it has video or music that is owned by a corporate-tyrant member of the RIAA or MPAA, not homebrew and most foreign-made (non-USA) video and music (but may nail you for deriviation though). But guess what! If you put them up anyway, you are less likely to be sued if you put them up on Emule (with an up-date IP-Blocker and some good server-list wisdom) as opposed to putting them up onto google movies or YouTube!

    Also, I hate YouTube - Google is easier to rip the videos themselves especially with Media Player Classic and the K-Lite codec pack playing many *.flvs now (.flv is a container, there are main codecs that could be put into there). Emule is better than both Google and YouTube for people like me who like to hoard & share, but the stream-only (preferentially) Google and YouTube are wooing away more of the legal files because of ease of use and the community feel. Google Videos seems to let the poster to allow a download but the download is only usable with Google’s proprietary video player. Rip instead (works on them all, not just the downloadables).
