My guess is that they will just return them as search results. No point in actually sending a dummy file. Unless the RIAA's drones require a download and not just search results. The smart thing would be to not actually download the song because of the massive increase in bandwidth needed, but then again this is the RIAA.
If ISP's had karma, Information Wave Technologies would have just hit the cap. I just sent an e-mail to them at thier riaa@informationwave.net address expressing my thoughts... you should too. Imagine what thier management would do if they got 25,000 e-mails stating how much people liked thier service?
(Yes, I know what would happen... thier mail server would go on strike, and be burned because it was too close to the exploding webserver)
I've found my Apex (AD-1100W) to be possibly the best DVD player I've ever seen. It has optical audio out along with standard rca's. In addition to being multi region, it plays mp3 cd's, burned cd's, cdrw's, dvd-r's, dvd+r's, dvd+rw's vcd's, svcd's, xvcd's, xsvcd's, kodak photo cd's, rewriteable firmware (via special cd), and probably a few more bells and whistles that I have yet to discover.
It has more features than all the 'high-end' dvd players I've seen. Ever try to play a burned disk on a sony dvd player?
Thier responce form is crap. It doesn't remember values, and because I left the URL field blank, I had to type my entire message over even after pressing thier 'go back and fix errors' button.... someone should teach these people proper coding techniques. Anyway, here's what I just fired off:
I have been developing a 'bot' for the past several years. It is called Q3Bot, and it primarily provides a remote ftp indexing service over IRC, AOL, MSN, and ICQ messaging systems. Its first use on a public network was on IRC in January 2000. Since then it has progressed through several versions, and now has numerous functions, including pickup lines, curses, delayed messaging, anonymous message relaying, stock lookups, definition lookups (through the dictionary.com website and the everything2.com XML engine) and several other functions. From my interpretation of your recently granted patent, you seem to cover all areas of my work. I would like to ask the following:
-From my description, does your patent indeed cover my work? -If so, how much would it cost so license your technology? -If I were to license it, could I transfer that license to other future developers of my software? -If you do not choose to license your patent, or if the cost is economically unfeasible for me, what options do I have aside from discontinuing my work?
Now, this is what the GPL is intended to protect against. Some company using code to make a product and then selling it for profit (at least from spyware) with no return to the community for what they used. Now, I'd love to see a full all-out-GPL-whack-a-thon against thier makers; but moreso I'd really love to see the source of all the spyware released under the GPL.

What if I were to get a directional antenna, and beam my wireless network in the general direction of the court building? And of course, setup a dhcp server and use no encryption and all the default workgroups. Could I then charge them for breaking into my wireless network?
Same question goes with a neighbor? Can I charge my neighbor for hacking into my network? Is it my responsibility to line my walls with aluminum foil so my signal doesn't go out? Or is it his responsibility to line his walls so he doesn't accidently hack into someone elses network?
I hope these companies aren't asking users to 'trust' them with thier personal information based on the fact that we are supposed to trust them to randomize it.
Personally, if I don't trust them enough to tell them how much I make, I'm not going to trust them to randomize my results. I don't see how this will increase accuracy -- especially if I keep telling everyone I'm a 108 year old female in Uganda making $100,000+ per year year who works in the sales department of an Educational field and plans to make purchases of an suv, a house, a console gaming system, a optical mouse in the next six months and rates thier internet experience as very low. My e-mail address is sjobs@mac.com and I would like to apply for your quarterly, monthly, weekly, daily, and hourly newsletters and I do give permission to pass this information to your affiliates.
This is why the government is trying to put a stop to hackers fiddeling with things. People go run apache on thier toaster, and it has problems with saturated connections to the database on thier alarm clock. This must be stopped now!
The first 2.0 stable kernel was released over six years ago, in June of 1996.
I wonder how many Windows 95 machines are still running and in actual use. Anyone here still running a variant of Win95? ... How about in a server environment? [ducks]
OMG. It really is porn. I figured it'd be a huge advertizement for them or something. Thumbs (yes, thumbs) up to BitTorrent for actually putting some truth in advertizing.
I don't get it. Everyone else in Hollywood gets all the crack they want, but Lucas seems to think that just because he's filming Star Wars that Speilberg doesn't deserve his crack. Maybe this is why Episodes 1 and 2 sucked so much. Lucas didn't give anyone thier crack.
I used to be a fan of home-built, and worked at a mom&pop pc store for a few years. Some companies have really taken thier quality to a whole new level with pc's. In fact, Dell's are as good if not better than something you buy from a local retailer. (IMHO, they are better hands down). Unless you want the whole custom built theme, grab a dell. They have all the options you would want for a system, plus thier warranty rocks. When your (insert favorite component) dies in 6 months, you don't want to have to deal with Admahad Rhussad in Illinois to get a RMA. Not to mention waiting at least a week.

Thanks for your interest in Google Labs. The lab is temporarily closed as we deal with an experiment that got slightly out of hand. Nothing to be concerned about, really. All of our engineers are perfectly safe and there was never any real danger of it escaping into the wild.
Please check back in a few hours. Everything should be back to normal then and science will march on once again. We appreciate your patience.

It shouldn't be a problem in Microsoft's case. They don't pay any taxes anyway (directly).

Thank you for your response in these matters.
Absolutley correct. Its not like US law would apply to any visiting russian programmers or anything.

... I know! Lets have a press release about our high resolution graphics products, and put a high resolution picture in with the article!
Oh, and while we're at it, lets make it a 256 color gif!

I'm used to regular spelling errors, in fact I expect them now. But this would just make any english teacher reach for a red pen.

I believe the first instance of that particular error message was in the HP laserjet II series. I know the HPLJIIP had it.
