p2pnet - rss feed: RIAA’s Cary Sherman is real
p2p news / p2pnet: Cary Sherman is NOT a humanoid robot created by the Big Four Organized Music family members to front for them.
He’s a real person. And if you don’t believe that, just head on over to the uncyclopedia wiki.
“Cary Sherman is the RIAA’s Senior Fact Adjustment Specialist,” it states.
“He has made startling revelations about P2P usage having ‘been either level or gone up only slightly’.
“Sherman aced Math at school, which is why he reached the above conclusion. P2P has gone up “only slightly”. From ~2 million to ~6 million + users.
“Sherman is a master at his craft, and beats even the likes of more famous fact adjustment specialists, such as Karl Rove and George Bush.”

He could be right, it just they can not connect to us. Lot of people are now using PG2 as such they can not connect to these computers.

“Cary Sherman is the RIAA’s Senior Fact Adjustment Specialist,”
I love this phrase. Liar is more direct though.

The staff at the RIAA would not even think of tainting their squeaky clean, copyright violation-free, fully software licensed and DRM’d compitational devices by connecting to one of those hideous, filthy P2P “den of theives and other bad people.” No, they just hire Media Sentry to do the dirty work such as launching what amounts to a DDos attack against you if you happen to be in a torrent they’ve targeted.
Suddenly PG starts scrolling as umpteen different Media Sentry ‘leechers’ attempt to connect. However, they are using some kind of borked client or utility that doesn’t wait for the connection attempt to resolve before initiating another one.
The connection attempts continue long after one has left the torrent and shut down the Bit Torrent Client. It could still be at it days later. If you have a dynamic IP, this leave the next person who picks up your attacked IP wondering why their firewall log filled up their 250GB drive.
By the way, does anyone know if Mr. Peabody works at the RIAA also?

“Liar” may be more direct, but ever-so-much less imaginitive. If we are going to bash those who feel so strongly about “intellectual rights”, let us engage in intellectual thrust and parry.
Frankly, nothing irritates me more than to see p2pnet posters carelessly fling about “they’re”s, when they mean “their”, or fail to double-check their grammar and spelling prior to submitting a post.
I fully understand and frankly love the concept of IM’s where fingers rapidly tripping over keyboards manage to create some absolute abominations of grammatical syntax or spelling. Some rather creative results have blossomed as a result. (Ordinarily, I would never allow myself two instances of a particular word - result - in the same sentence, but the occasion just seems right.)
However, this is not an IM and we should bear in mind that we owe it to those long-suffering grammar school teachers who gave up their flowering youth to reach out and teach the youth (did that on purposae, you know) of this country to at least give the appearance of intelligence, and hopefully none of them would ever grow up to be Presidents of the United States (ooops, I mean, George Bush).

It happend to me one day, well actually it happend several times before. Suddenly PeerGuardian’s screen started scoriilng on and on wiith messages that it had blocked Media Sentry. Thank you Poenix Labs for PG. I also use the SafePeer plug-in and the paranoid blocklist version with that plug-in. The only way I know to get out of the attack is by first making sure that torrent does not use the tracker anymore to get it’s peer sources (you can select that in Azureus) and then switching to another port number.
