RIAA - Hit List
By Tech Live staff
The recording industry has launched a sweeping effort to identify and shut down individual song swappers, making good on recent threats to expand its legal battle against copyright theft. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has now issued more than 911 subpoenas to Internet service providers across the United States, trying to get the names of people still offering music on file-sharing networks such as KaZaA and Grokster. Today, "Tech Live" brings you the RIAA Hit List, the user names of file traders targeted in the recording industry subpoenas. Last month, we brought you the story of Jesse Jordan, a 19-year-old college student who became one of the first to be hit with a lawsuit by the RIAA. Jordan settled his case by paying $12,000 to the RIAA. The following user names were culled from subpoenas filed with the US District Court in Washington, DC. All subpoenas, incidentally, are being served by the Los Angeles law firm of Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp. A total of 253 RIAA subpoenas were listed as of July 22 through the federal court system's paid online database, PACER. The actual subpoenas are available to view online in about half the cases. The court documents don't show individual users' real names. They do show file-sharing network user names, the user's ISP, the user's IP address, and a sampling of copyright songs the user allegedly made available for download. To date, many ISPs have been contacted, including Pac Bell Internet, SBC, Charter Communications, Comcast, Adelphia, RCN, and Time Warner. Following is a list of the first user names from our review of the subpoenas.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! |
How can you tell if they've gotten you if you use Kazaalite?
|
They just won't list you, although they can still bust your ass. o_O
|
I dont know. I use kazaalite as well, but I never share, RIAA is going after people who let others d/l off them.
|
I should stop sharing before I end up on that list.
|
I've taken all the measures I care to take to prevent getting busted.
-I don't share files -I'm behind 3 firewalls, the windows one, BlackIce, and a physical one in my router -I'm on a network, so it will be hard to trace which computer has the files (I don't know if this is true, just an assumption.) -I only have Kazaa open when I'm downloading a song or two, otherwise I use Winamp because it's cooler looking with the right skin ::cough::MMD3::cough:: |
Its not only kazaa, its p2p sharing programs.
|
Yeah, I know. Winamp isn't a p2p program. Also... people can share files using Apples iTunes, I wonder if they'll bust users doing that? :D
|
itunes isnt a p2p program, you can only download crap from iTunes for money.
|
I have it, I know what I'm talking about. Users can download eachothers music if they have their IP adress.
And yes, you can purchase songs for $0.99. |
RIAA Can't sue you for anything, you are sharing files off of your computer, which there is no law against, if you get a slip from them, go to court with it.
|
Perhaps you didn't notice that Jesse Jordan paid $12,000 in fines? Obviously they CAN fine you.
|
LOL, they are neva gonna get meh!!!!!!!
|
what a bloody shame. I live in Canada.
|
Damn canada h4x...
|
They wont puish file sharing inc anada because its not a real country
|
Its only real if you want it to be.
|
OMG TEH HAX0RS. Eat soup.
|
Eat your fucking kitties, lawmen!
