RIAA ‘transiently available’
p2pnet.net News:- It seems the RIAA is still going up and down like a yo-yo.
Or, as Netcraft sums it up here, Big Music’s US enforcement web page is now "transiently available after an extended outage".
"Inevitably, this will lead to speculation that SCO might add the RIAA to the list of Linux using organizations currently receiving attention from its lawyers," says Netcraft, going on:
"Of course, the RIAA is itself well endowed with lawyers should it need to defend itself …"
Nice one : )
Netcraft points out that if MyDoom.F rather than a hack-attack from disgruntled Websters was responsible, "it raises an ongoing threat for the RIAA site, as the malware is programmed to launch its DDoS between the 17th and 22nd days of every month.
"ASP Cookies offered by the site indicate that the Linux machine has probably been inserted as a reverse proxy in front of the existing Windows servers as part of an attempt to improve site availability."
Stay tuned.

It’s that anon cow again
I promise I will sign up, I love this site, but now about the RIAA site. When I discovered it up yesterday after reading about the new onslaught of cases, there was a part about RIAA (haha great angram in RIAA = I Rat. Omg that is too much, because yes, those furballs with feet had a headline that talked about outlet music stores, yet the page wouldn’t open. The only thing that did was the one about the lawsuits.
I really believe they’d stoop this low, taking their own site down and crying foul, remember Gobble? The cybergoons who were to put viruses and worms on KaZaa? Hired by the RIAA. This is becoming surreal.
They’re camels in a tent and they have bad breath. They shoot horses, don’t they?

Eek! I must be on something. There’s no T in RIAA, the only available anagram is A Air. I should remember to preview. *slinking out*……….
