" U.S. music industry group says it has sued 493 more people for copyright infringement as part of its campaign to stop consumers from copying music over the Internet. The Recording Industry Association of America has now sued nearly 3,000 individuals since last September in an attempt to discourage people from copying songs through peer-to-peer networks like Kazaa and LimeWire."

    This is not a link to a description of his battle against the RIAA. This is a link to some strange war/battle/game thing. Don't clik on the link.

    No adware in LimeWire, either, if you know what you're doing with it.

    I prefer shareaza though -- the user interface is much nicer and it has some useful features that limewire lacks.

  3. DC++ vs. Direct Connect by Doc+Squidly · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I've notice that a lot of hubs running Direct Connect auto-kick DC++ users.

    Don't know if this is due to the hub Admin or the program itself.

    Still, Direct Connect/DC++ kicks ass.

    Shareaza is my poison of choice.

    Shareaza=Gnutella2 + Gnutella1 + BitTorrent + EDonkey2000.
    Good Times.
