The RIAA's Hit List Named
Carpoolio writes "TechTV is the first I've seen to name names in the fight between the RIAA and music downloaders. Using an online court records search service, they've found a number of the subpoenas served by the RIAA to ISPs, which will ultimately end in lawsuits for the people named on this list. Right now, they've published a number of the P2P user names filed with the US District Court in Washington, DC, mainly Kazaa users. Are you on the list?"
kazaaliteuser@Kazaa isn't on there! I was really worried for a second.
kazaaliteuser@Kazaa vs. RIAA
RIAA: Please disclose any and all information about kazaaliteuser@Kazaa to us!
Comcast: Um, we're @comcast.net and @attbi.com, sorry.
RIAA: YOU'RE ALL AGAINST US!
My name is up there! I'm screwed...
--fetch daddy's blue fright wig, i must be handsome when i release my rage
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has now issued more than 911 subpoenas
Reckon the RIAA's trying to make a point here?
Call me old fashioned, but I like a dump to be as memorable as it is devastating - Bender
I hereby give my blessing to anyone who wants to sue a guy with the balls to be known as: hottdude0587@Kazaa.
What are we all going to do now that 100% of the people actually sharing files have been named? (:
Ladies, form queue here -->
Joan Jett is going to jail! "joanjett@Kazaa"
Sob! I'm not there! How could they have missed me?
Oh. All the "names" end with @Kazaa. I don't use kazaa.
Never mind.
Those who do study history are doomed to stand helplessly by while everyone else repeats it.
(You only have yourself to blame for this).

I guess if I'm guilty of copyright theft, that means I now hold the copyrights and THEY owe ME money??

Whew! Thank God I'm only munkeyspanker19@Kazaa.
Whoever has the IP address they pick owes billions for all the other anonymous cowards who could not pick an original nick.

busy renaming my mp3 file extention to fu2
Not surprising, though. After all, it's the RIAA that's suing, not the porn industry.
munkeyspanker21@Kazaa
I'm not sure which is more disturbing: The name itself, or the fact that more than one person uses it.
like, what was he downloading when the bombs were dropping on Iraq?
:-)
Perhaps it was You Dropped A Bomb On Me, by the Gap Band?
Karma: Excellent Birds (mostly as a result of listening to Laurie Anderson)
I'm not on there! My username is kazaalite@Kazaa. Haha, RIAA suckers!
I'm suprised that people actually use "real" usernames for kazaa...when I use it do download my gigs of pr0n I alwsy have a username like sfg0dfgaheow4$%#$T3g35^%h45@Kazaa just because I don't need anybody wondering why "mrpuffypants" really needs that college cam video forthe nth time...
I can see it now:
Bailiff: would munkeyspanker21 please take the stand
please place your right....errr uhhh....left hand here.
hehe
Paying taxes to buy civilization is like paying a hooker to buy love.
I hope CourTV covers the cases when they finally go after irc file traders.
"All rise for the case in the matter of the RIAA vs. H0RNYCOCKINYERASS69"
yea and why did they skip munkeyspanker1-20 and go right to 21?
Paying taxes to buy civilization is like paying a hooker to buy love.
If everybody on kazaa used a user name like riaasucks@kazaa or riaaisacriminalorganization@kazaa or this_is_a_bullshit_court_cast@kazaa you know they wouldn't pick you. imagine the news coverge, even better the day in court. I would like to call riaaisabunchoffaggots@kazaa to the stand.
Damn, I've got pen all over my screen now :(

Subpeonas 0 and 255 are reserved for networks (whole ISPs - all your user list are belong to us) and broadcast subpeonas (first use of SPAMMED Subpeonas) respectively.

The RIAA's Hit List
That sounds so nasty. I bet some would prefer "The Pirate's Honor Roll".
I can see it now: 'We are keeping 60% of the donations to pay for the cost of taking donations'
we can rebuild this sig. we have the technology
Oh Shit!
60% That's a little low for the RIAA. Make it 117%. Actually charge the artist.
Actually ... if you were getting screwed ... you wouldn't need kazaa's sharing of the porn industries files ...
Ignore the "p2p is theft" trolls, they're just uninformed
munkeyspanker8 who we already know sells burned music CD's on ebay, is a leach. Leaches are OK since they're helping to kill p2p.
munkeyspanker17, while having a large collection of kiddy porn, was not sharing any RIAA-label music. We're only after real criminals here..
The others weren't logged on at the time. We only logged on briefly since we didn't want to draw the attention of the MPAA who will be conducting their own witchhunt next week..
suddenly i feel so safe with 'ashcroft@kazaa'.
members are seeing something, your seeing an ad
do you think there are 20 people using Kazaa that aren't sharing copyrighted files? Funny that they all use the variations on the name 'munkeyspanker.' I am pretty sure I don't want to see any of the files those people are sharing.
They must set the sticky bit on all their directories.
I metamoderate, therefore I am
...will there still be Kazaa left? I still need to download a dozen of songs and a movie.
" yea and why did they skip munkeyspanker1-20 and go right to 21?"
:)
... Munkey spanker, will face justice at your hands! Ladies and gentlemen, we intend to prove hands-down, that Mr Munkeyspanker is indeed guilty of far more than self-gratification. We have substantial evidence that this spanker of monkies is in fact a serial violator, far beyond what any decent person could even imagine!"
Because munkeyspankers 1 - 20 restricted their copyright infringement activities to pornography, obviously. Jesus, did you even look at the name?!
"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, you will hear testimony during this trial regarding the complete disregard for the law shown by Mr Munkeyspanker. His total disrespect for the rule of law is shown further by his attempts to hide his identity; but I assure you, this law-breaker, this

When I was a young'un we had to use accoustic phone couplers to send email. 110 baud. And find rolls of paper for the Teletype. Sending and Receiving.
This issue is a bit more complicated than you think.
"It's not like you tossed a firebomb into their headquarters or anything."
Now here's a straight thinker with upper-management written all over him!
KaZaa users would make the easiest targets, if they aren't smart enough to at least go for KaZaa LiTe then that means they've prolly got a few hundred top pop/rock/rap tracks being openly shared. The idiots of the web finally come in handy.
Can you imagine the profit and how many people would benefit if the RIAA followed the ePORN industry's way of doing business?
things that make you go... hmm...
They named the default username given to those who install Kazaa Lite...
So I wonder how many people that covers?
They track a combination of username and IP address. For the default username, the IP address they have on record is 127.0.0.1. If that's not the address of your computer, you're safe!
like, mr_unjustly_accused, miss_taken_identity, poor_waif_being_bankrupted_by_multinationals, riaa_is_lying, other suggestions?
If I had a name like "munkeyspanker21@Kazaa", I think I'd QUIETLY settle any lawsuit with the RIAA before my friends and neighbors found out!!! OH, the embarrassment!! Then again, this MIGHT be part of the strategy by the RIAA!
Perhaps they're cutting you some slack for the first 20 times.
(Cary Sherman is the president of the RIAA.)
The RIAA site is behaving very strangely, probably hacked yet again. Poor little bastards.
Just signed onto Kazaalite, and there are only 3,243,065 users currently on. I think the RIAA suceeded in making sure those listed in the article don't increase that number...
:)
And I been boycotting the RIAA since Napster was beta
KaZaA user: Oooh, the RIAA are mad at me. I'm so scared! Oooh, the RIAA! Uh oh, the RIAA are going to get me!
RIAA: Stop it!
KaZaA user: Don't let the RIAA come after me. Oh no, the RIAA are coming after me.
RIAA: Please stop the 'pretending you are scared' game, please.
KaZaA user: No! They're so big and strong!
RIAA: Please stop pretending you are scared of us, please, now.
KaZaA user: Oh, protect me from the RIAA! The RIAA...
RIAA: Burns, STOP IT!
My other sig is a porsche
Since they are prosecuting the likes of "Lisweet@Kazaa" "ktgurl13@Grokster" and the like, however, (the heartless bastards) I now am of the opinion that "cuntfuckcunt@kazaa" might be the way to go.
Lets see them file papers against that.

You can just hear this in court now...
... is this not the IP address of your computer?"
"127.0.0.1
"Well..no sir..."
"Well i suggest to you that is not true sir, does your computer not contain what is known as a loopback address?"
"Yes but.."
"And would this be address be 127.0.0.1 that is on your computer?"
"Err yes but.."
"Your honour i have no further questions"

You better watch yourself. Based on the title of your comment, the RIAA may come after you for violating the Village People's copyright.

Now its on a scale comparable with unlicensed broadcasting, which just because it is a lot easier for anyone to do than it was in the days of pirate radio, is no less dodgy and IMHO should be as illegal.
Yeah, maybe a name like "ilickmonkeyballs@thezoo.com" is the way to go. I mean, who (exec, lawyer, or judge) wants to open up the possibility of a sound clip of them saying "I lick monkey balls at the zoo" floating around the net?
