I’d much rather not have any ads at all, but without them, there’d be no p2pnet. http://www.p2pnet.net/story/13332

Cheers!

“I could barely finish reading this article because of the keyword popover ads. They are invasive and the most annoying form of advertising on the web today. I will not be return to because of them. Many others feel the same, but few of us bother to leave a note saying why we won’t be back.”

Adblock Plus + NoScript = Problem solved.

voline or anyone annoyed by advertisement on web-pages: Try Firefox browser with NoScript and Adblock plug-ins. I would also recommend the CustomizeGoogle plug-in.
I just love this combination - the ads and similar crap just disappears like magic!

Pirate every last note that the RIAA companies (scumbags) have a hand in.

These days I pirate stuff simply to do my part in their downfall. I want them to suffer a long drawn out defeat. Hopefully it’ll get to the stage where they’ll have to prostitute themselves on street corners just to earn enough for them to buy food. They’ve been ripping us off for years, they deserve no better.

Cornell is an Ivy league school but was not on the list.

I think the significance of Harvard as an Ivy League school missing from the list is being over-emphasized, b/c only 6 of 8 Ivy League schools are on the list (Duke University is not a member of the Ivy League).

For my part, I have long since stopped buying Sony products, even though Sony BMG is a separate group. There is a Sony camera in my desk drawer, and it represents the last money they got from me. I really can’t understand why the RIAA members don’t see the harm this crap is doing to them. Maybe one day they will finally wake up.

You’d think the school that proved filesharing doesn’t negatively affect record sales would be at the top of their hit list.

They will steer well clear of Harvard until they have precedence of law on their side. They desire the belly up victim to do that with. So they are playing Sheriff of Nottingham and robber baron to all they can find.

They are earning enough ill will with the public that in the end it will spell their own end. I know for myself, I long ago reached this point but more and more will reach it and come to their own decision on this. It is evident that they are now realizing this PR disaster as they have changed from the public world announcements to the local sector in hopes that locals will affect them less in the bad PR. Sadly they are mistaken in this as it has the same effect as it does on a larger scale. Only this way it takes longer but the effect will be far stronger for the build up.

Now they hope to pass off the search and find to anyone to be the bad guy but them. If they can find ISPs to tote the cost and bad publicity or the government then they can attempt to look again blameless. It won’t work any more than the RIAA being the lightning rod. It is the major labels this comes from and the major labels that will recieve the lack of my business because of this.
