Music Sharing Crackdown?
by Does anybody have any information on who is being targeted in the latest lawsuits and what people can do to avoid prosecution? Also, does anybody have info on which (if any) music filesharing is legal and how to do it?

its actually pretty funny, cause they are targeting "supernodes" for kazaa. Users that have alot of "pop" music on their computers that are being shared via, whatever program fits your fancy. What thatdarngirl said is more or less the best thing to do. Uncheck sharing in Kazaa, then move all music files out of shared folder. Thats what i did as well.
now, on kazaalite they have an ip blocker...that's what i got
I added a poll
i stoped using kazaa before this cus my dad asked me to.
i stopped using it cuz my dad turned it off and we kept trying to reinstall it but he foiled (or is it soiled) our plan.
well, we DID have a watchtower article on this some months back
Oh? What exactly did it say because I'm drawing a blank..seriously.
no we didn't. that was a re-print of an article from 1995. about sharing floppy disks. shhh now.

I win!
i guess you both beat me because i swas gonna do the same thing... here
good article there, i'm going to be cautious
some people told me that they uninstalled kazaa and are gonna quit? I don't really wanna do that...but then again i dont want to pay crazy amounts of money...
what is everyone else doing?
i refuse to believe that there is a problem, my username on kazaa is IWZ
yeah me too i don't belive it and my username so similar...IANwilliamZABELcomeANDgetME
I just turned off the sharing option, so no one can upload from me and I can still download. ALSO, I moved everything that I have downloaded from the Kaaza folder that things get downloaded to, to another folder on my computer. That probably doesn't do much but I figure if they check via Kaaza then the stuff won't be there?
that's what i've done also... i just dont want to be sued
cheh-heh-heh, wuss.
eh, i have plenty of music. over 6000 songs completely organized by band and album. who needs loose mp3 files anyway?
wheres the sharing option? I think im gonna do that
It should just be somewhere under options. It asks you which folder would you like to share music from.
i heard anyone in a band was getting targeted
turn sharing off.
