IFPI Employee Describes P2P Sabotage Activities

Maxwell'sSilverLART writes "From The Reg: Matt Warne, an employee of the international version of the RIAA, admitted that he helped the organization spread garbage and random noise on the P2P networks. Apparently, they used multiple DSL connections to present the appearance of separate users, disguising the origins of the files. His group has stopped, but he claims several of the big record companies are still doing it themselves. And here I thought all of their garbage came on CD."

    Actually, I wonder if Norah (even) knows and appreciates how hard her label works at derailing her career?

    Im thinking Norah is very appreciative of how hard her label has worked at derailing her career as a lounge, wedding, and bar-mitzvah singer.

    Not that I don't sympathize with your plight, but the artists who have made it big certainly have a lot to lose from file sharing. Those that express differing sentiments are either hypocrites or ignorant.
