If the Sony walkman phone is advertised, as it is, as capable of music sharing, and Sony are at the heart of the **aa lawsuits, ain’t that entrapment?, I for one will never purchase from Sony again.

Actually, since Mobile phones are metered by the minute, if people traded all their files over mobile networks, that would present an opportunity to effectively “charge” for file trading. Then the music industry could try to horn in on that. Shhhhhh!

“Is it illegal to spoof a copyright file?”
As soon as I posted I remembered that P2P networks are being flooded with fakes by companys hired by Big Media, so it must not be illegal, at least for now. I can see it coming. Soon the fake files will be copyright so the public can’t share copybait on P2P, but if you made them yourself… I mean, you can’t copyright the name of a file, can you?

“…creating fake movie files, sharing them via peer to peer programs and only allowing those on peer guardian’s black list to connect to your filesharing program.”

That’s an interesting idea. Copybait. Is it illegal to spoof a copyright file? Keep in mind, if you are inviting scrutiny you best not have even a shred of “real” copyright material on your HD.

ha ha ha, that’s just what I was thinking. The Scooby-Doo arch-villan’s are obviously parodies of the cartels. Or maybe the **AA and friends model their business ethics on those of Old Man Grissom – The 10′000 Volt Ghost and his cronies ;P

One large leather whip, and one dead horse… Let them continue to whip this dead horse until everyone stops buying their crap!!! I wonder if Mr. Dickman’s suing little girls makes him feel really big? I wonder if he thinks about f**king them in other ways as well. I know that several artists who he claims to support have been in trouble for molesting children.

Everyday people like us are the ones that made America. The cartels, RIAA and MPAA are the ones who are working feverishly to pervert the minds and morality of Americans like us. As far as I’m concerned the RIAA, MPAA, and others of their ilk are what is DESTROYING America. Do victims have a website set up where they can receive funds to fight these bastards? I would be happy to contribute.

Victims need to have a sign on the back of their cars that says “I’m being ripped of by the movie cartel, please don’t buy DVD’s.”? Yes, the cartels are big and can squash any one of us like a bug, however if we swarm these cartels by the thousands, we can drive them out of business or at least to a more humble position. I know I am personally reponsible for creating over a hundred ex-cartel customers.

These people would really like to catch me sharing movies that they produce, but they will not because I do not use, like or even share their product. Their product is crap and would waste space on my computer.

I haven’t watched a movie (cartel produced) that I really liked in over 3 years. Since this “Sue them” campaign has been brought to my attention, I have not rented or bought a movie. The cartels lost me as a customer. I spend at least 30 minutes a day coming up with ideas on how to fight these media cartels. I do this because a have a pathological hate for any type of bully. Here are a few ideas that are on p2pnet.

A couple of my own ideas include starting a file sharing pool of trusted friends, contributing a few bucks to defense campaigns, and
creating fake movie files, sharing them via peer to peer programs and only allowing those on peer guardian’s black list to connect to you filesharing program. This is WAR, and we need to rally the troops so that we can win it quickly. We will WIN if a lot of people put forth only a little effort.

Cue up the Scooby-Doo ending. “If it wasn’t for them pesky kids we could have kept this business model going”

Sneakernet was always the best. Here’s some ideas:-

- Make up a handful of DVDs with the favourites from your mp3 collection. Then you can always listen to your favourite music in other people’s houses. What shall we say? 20Gb?

- Get a USB 2.5″ had drive and keep your MP3 collection on that. Dump it to other people’s hard drives, dump there collection onto your disk. 80Gb and a USB enclosure are around $100

Amazingly, Apple have got away with making it awkward to copy other people’s stuff on and off an iPod. But it’s possible. And other DAP manufacturers make it much easier.
