Shifting From P2P To Stream Ripping

Posted by timothy on from the too-bad-it's-such-a-pain dept.

An anonymous reader submits "As users continue to try fending off the ever more litigious music industry, some seem to have dropped P2P entirely, moving to ripping instead. While they lose some control over what they are downloading, it's a untraceable way to download music (no way for the RIAA to track users or sue). With some of the more powerful software that's been coming out recently, stream ripping has become more main-stream. Some of the more well known software packages, like StationRipper, allow users to download several thousand songs on a daily basis. And, depending on how you read the law, it's 100% legal. How will the RIAA respond? As more users move to this type of technology to avoid the P2P lawsuits, how will the music industry respond?"

    Citizens, comrades, ladies, gentlemen
    Beware of forgeries!

    Imitators of #TEENS4CHRIST want to present #TEENS4CHRIST in an artistic form which it has never had

    CITIZENS,

    You are presented today in a pornographic form, a vulgar and baroque spirit which is not the PURE IDIOCY claimed by #TEENS4CHRIST
    BUT DOGMATISM AND PRETENTIOUS IMBECILITY
