Slashdot Mirror
Investigating the RIAA's Billion-Dollar Claims
zrosener writes "I've put together a site with a lot of information on the cases. I created
diagrams and explanations of the file sharing systems these students created
that the RIAA is suing them for - and how they are functionally and
technically very similar to Microsoft's tools built right into windows,
and how they are dissimilar from Napster's." Good detective work.

Wow...thats bright.
The magnatism of your power lines is out of wack and now you have totaly lost your connection to the net.

2) Claim inflated losses for each potential viewer lost * theoretical maximum recieved from each one.

I mean really, if you're going to submit your own site, there's no excuse for an instant slashdotting.
Getting diabetes AND salmonella would be a bad weekend.
why not establish mirrors before you submit to slashdot, especially if it's a self referral?
must like the slashdotting effect.
because I have been enjoined by this Holy Office to abandon the false opinion which maintains that the Sun is the centre
As with so many other legal issues, it's a question of intent. With student-written file sharing systems, you are intentionally sharing your files with the whole world. With Windows File Sharing, you are unintentionally sharing your files with the whole world.
I've put together a site with a lot of information on the cases...

Apparently, you haven't yet heard of the Slashdot Effect. Still, with a Slashdot User ID of 518655, I guess you're still a newbie. No offense, of course!
"Wait, i can almost see something loading... It looks like Captain Janeway."
If you see an ad for the Internet King, skip it. It's a scam.
What is this? Logic? Examination of the lawsuit and using factual meterial instead of simply pulling a random number out of the air??? Sue him! He's violating the DMCA is some way which we will figure out later after the lawsuit has been prepared and filed! Sue him!

This is an experimental study into how to reach the next level of computing called "vapor computing" the idea behind it is to so over stress your sytem that you turn your computer into vapor. Thus reaching the next phase of computing power, vapor computing. Please help me in this by going to my site and constantly hitting refresh. My webserver is only in the liqued phase of computing right now.

You think you've got it bad? Hell, my service only puts out 60 Baud and all I seem to get is 010101010101010101010...
